Just thought everyone would be happy to know that New Hampshire, my state, became the first state in the country to have a majority of women in the legislature. I don't know if it's sad that we're the first, and only now, or just a great thing that women are so well represented in this state-- women from both parties (though we do still have a Democratic majority).

I know on my ballot I had 5 democrat women, one democrat man, and one republican woman as choices for my state-level representatives. Women are finally stepping up and running for public office here. Hopefully other states will soon follow our example.

As a fellow woman from New Hampshire, I'm thrilled that a not-exactly-stereotypically-progressive state has made such huge gains. Definitely makes all those hours of volunteering worthwhile.
