The new House of Representatives will be the most diverse in US history.聽Ilhan Omar, voted in in Minnesota, is one of the first Muslim Representatives. Jacky Rosen defeated the incumbent Republican Senator, Dean Heller, in Nevada, and in Massachusetts, Ayanna Pressley has become the first black woman the state has ever elected to Congress. She says her election was a mandate for hope.
