At least 23 Republican women won races for the House of Representatives, including a record 13 who were running for the first time, the Center for American Women and Politics said.
At least 10 of 11 incumbent Republican women who sought re-election won their races and retained their seats, but the 13 who were running for the first time easily broke the GOP record of nine, set in 2010, according to the center, which is a division of Eagleton Institute of Politics and headquartered at Rutgers University in New Brunswick, New Jersey.
Nine races featuring a first-time Republican woman candidate are undecided, the center said, and the GOP needs only two more victories to equal its previous record of 25 women in the House set in 2006.
The Republican women’s victories helped set a new record of 106 females elected to the House, eclipsing the old record of 102 in the 435-member chamber set in 2018.
“The Republican Party is about to have more GOP women in Congress than in the entire history of the United States,” House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy of California posted to Twitter on Wednesday.
Marjorie Dannenfelser, president of the Susan B. Anthony List, called it “a resounding victory for pro-life women everywhere,” the Washington Times reported.
