Former presidential candidate Hillary Clinton has praised the “historic gains Democratic women made in representation”, calling attention to specific wins by candidates from underrepresented groups.
Clinton noted that for the first time, more than 100 Democratic women will serve in the House and at least 14 will serve as governors.

Clinton also called attention to the following elected officials:
