When the 116th Congress convened in 2019, a record number of women - 102 in the House of Representatives and 25 in the Senate - held seats. How has this historic increase changed the ethos of the institution? How do newly elected women interact with experienced members? How will the future of the Congress change as more women are elected? Aght, a distinguished panel including Sen. Shelley Moore Capito (R-WV), Rep. Brenda Lawrence (D-MI), and Rep. Debra Lesko (R-AZ) will discuss these topics and others.
