The portraits of the elections in the United States

Date:

The midterm elections have produced a series of milestones, such as the first openly lesbian governor or the first Cherokee representative in over a hundred years.

The United States returned to the polls on Tuesday for the midterm elections, which will elect the 435 members of the United States House of Representatives, 35 of the 100 senators and governors in 39 states, among other subordinate positions. As the recount continues and Democrats resist the red wave the polls predicted (they hold their own in the House and snatched a Republican senator), Election Day has left an array of faces of its own, alongside Ron DeSantis, the governor from Florida, or John Fetterman, a Pennsylvania senator who can hand over the key to the Senate to the Democrats.

The youngest deputy is Maxwell Alejandro Frost, a Democrat who is barely 25 years old, the minimum age to be admitted to the position. He will also be the first Afro-Cuban to reach Congress; it does it for the Orlando district, in Florida. During his campaign, he was supported by party heavyweights such as Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren.

Frost has been an activist since she was 15 years old. He has focused his campaign on Generation Z’s top concerns: climate change, abortion and gun-related violence.

Native American peoples get a representative in the Senate again. Markwayne Mullin, an Oklahoma Republican, is a member of the Cherokee tribe, which had not been represented in the Senate since 1925. In addition, he will be the only Indigenous person in the Senate since 2005. He is a member of the conservative Republican wing and a staunch supporter of Trump.

Mullin was first elected to the United States House of Representatives in 2012. He is married with six children. He lives on a ranch on the original land that his family received as members of the Cherokee community. He is a former mixed martial arts wrestler and was inducted into the Oklahoma Wrestling Hall of Fame in 2016. He remains active in the wrestling community, leading a bipartisan training group in Washington every morning that brings together Republicans and Democrats.

Maura Healey becomes Massachusetts’s first female governor. She will also be the first openly lesbian woman to hold such a position. A 51-year-old Democrat, he defeated Republican Geoff Diehl, who was backed by former President Donald Trump.

Healey grew up as the oldest of five children. She spent her childhood on the family farm in New Hampshire and worked as a waitress in her youth. She later captained her college basketball team. He devoted himself professionally to this sport in Austria, where he competed for two seasons. She later returned to the United States to begin her career as a civil rights attorney.

The state of Maryland has elected Democrat Wes Moore as its new governor, making it the first black man in state history to hold that title. Moore, 44, returns the state governorship to Republicans by defeating his rival Dan Cox, who was backed by former US President Donald Trump.

This young politician is a former US military veteran and executive director of the nonprofit Robin Hood Foundation, an organization that fights poverty. Maryland’s new governor is a political newcomer who has won over his voters with charisma and optimism and is seen as a rising star among a new generation of Democratic Party leaders.
