There are only 16 in the photo.

There will be 20 female senators in 2013.

Snow and Hutchison will not be serving, so subtract those two from the photo...

which means SIX are missing from the photo.

* * * Missing from the photo are: Gillibrand, Landrieu, Hagen, Murray, Boxer, and Ayotte.


Here's a list of the 20 female senators of 2013: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/113th_United_States_Congress

[banned from Kos]

16. Congratulations and thank you.

May we claim her as a US Senator?

[Scuba]

17. Of course. She'll represent Progressives all across America.

[Viking12]

21. Mine too!

proud to have Tammy representing us!

[dixiegrrrrl]

12. I remember clearly, that in 1970, this was just a dream.

Only 2 stalls in the Senate Women's bathroom, I have heard.

Maybe the "overflow" needs to go into the Senate Men's bathroom.

[Auntie Bush]

18. Where's Nancy? Taking the picture?

LOL

[Tx4obama]

19. Nancy is in The House, not The Senate.

There will be 20 female senators in The Senate in 2013.

And in 2013 in The House there will be 80 female representatives (I think the 80 number is right).

[Auntie Bush]

20. Oh yeah! Good reason! lol

[treestar]

22. Wow

that is so cool. I remember when it was a thrill there were four - -92, Boxer, Feinstein, Murray and Mikulski

[Tx4obama]

23. Also in '92: Carol Moseley-Braun (D-IL). See the 1992 photo on the link below

[Liberal_in_LA]

25. I hadn't forgotten her. Sad that her career ended like it did.

[KT2000]

26. where is Patty Murray?

[Tx4obama]

I am proud to say, "my senator" was the only significant politician to oppose our state's discriminatory constitutional amendment interfering with same sex marriage. That was all the way back in the late 90s and was very progressive and courageous of her. She was of course correctly ahead of her times!
