They made history on Election Day, and they all have one thing in common: Girl Scouts. Coincidence? We think not! Being a Girl Scout means paying attention to the world around you, identifying problems affecting your community, and taking action to solve them! Whether it be on the local or national level, Girl Scouts have always been championing issues to help improve their communities and make the world a better place.
It's no surprise that in this year's midterm elections, many Girl Scout alums ran for office and won. They've etched their names in our history books like the trailblazers they are. And this sends a strong message to the world: Never underestimate the power of a G.I.R.L.!
From the youngest woman ever elected to Congress to the first women of color to be elected congresswomen, these are the Girl Scout alums who have broken barriers in 2018's midterm elections:
