These 16 Republican Women Came Up Big During the 2020 Election

By: Andrew J. Sciascia, The Western Journal

Conservative women seem to have run the table on election night, carrying the Republican Party to a series of unexpected gains in the Democrat-controlled U.S. House of Representatives.

According to Susan B. Anthony List, at least 16 new female members of the GOP have seen House races called in their favor since polls closed on Nov. 3, with eight flipping seats in the process.

Early results indicate another five are also positioned well within striking distance, as remaining ballots are counted from California to Texas to central New York.

In anticipation of the 117th Congress, here is a glance at the fresh batch of Republican women set to be sworn in on Jan. 3, 2021:

Michelle Steel of California’s 48th Congressional District.

West Coast conservative women scored a rare win this cycle with Michelle Steel. A South Korean immigrant and career public servant, she has served her Newport Beach district as a financial hawk, opposing new taxes from the California State Board of Equalization to the Orange County Board of Supervisors to the congressional campaign trail.

Steel led her incumbent Democratic opponent Rep. Harley Rouda by a 2-percentage-point margin of nearly 8,000 votes at the time of his Tuesday concession.

Lauren Boebert of Colorado’s 3rd Congressional District
