1. What a beautiful moment!

Makes me feel like crying myself!

I'm afraid I'm just over the top emotionally on edge right now from the Kavanaugh shit show.

[sheshe2]

4. I get ya, Ohiogirl.

Aside from the shit show, it is great to see some hope.

A daughter moved to tears by her pride in her mom. Tears now in my eyes too.

9. Not to be a downer but she won the primary only, right?

I assume it’s a very safe blue district?

Love this photo!

[rurallib]

10. Believe she is running unopposed

[sheshe2]

13. Not only a solid blue district.

No challenger! Seat is hers.

[Beaverhausen]

31. Awesome!

So great we have many new members going to Congress!

[elmac]

15. There is no Republican on the November ballot

I'm very happy with her win, she will be a strong progressive voice.

[Beaverhausen]

11. The promise of the American dream is still alive in this child's heart.

[sheshe2]

14. Awwww...

[Honeycombe8]

16. That's a great picture! Of a future President? Who knows? nt

[sheshe2]

19. I thought the same, Honeycombe...

or a future Congresswoman/ Senator.

She can be anything she wants to be.

[Aristus]

17. Wonderful to see.

Another great step forward for our country.

Someday soon, I hope we'll all shed tears of joy...

"Sorrow endureth at night, but joy cometh in the morning..."

26. What took so long?

Pressley replaced a very liberal Liberal, so we have never been in a rush to unseat liberals in this state.

[sheshe2]

30. I was in no rush to replace a sitting liberal.

I am in awe that this is the first AA woman in our states history to be elected to congress.

[oasis]

27. Great future ahead. She'll flourish in our congressional majority.

[sheshe2]

29. I really think she will, oasis.

She brings 18 years of political experience with her. She is no newbie.

I do believe we are seeing a momentous shift in the politics of the left. Bring it on. The next generation is waiting for our example.
