Democrats Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (above) of New York's 14th district, and Abigail Finkenauer of Iowa's first district, became the two youngest women ever to be elected to Congress at the ages of 29. Ocasio-Cortez won her race in a landslide victory in her predominantly Democratic district, while Finkenauer flipped a historically Republican seat in Iowa and will be the first woman ever to represent her district. And fun fact: in January, Ocasio-Cortez will also become the youngest person sworn into Congress in more than 200 years. (In 1818, 28-year-old John Henry Eaton earned that distinction.)
