I'm happy to say that there are more than the 5/6 in the "Governor" pool! Yay diversity.
Here we go:
The Senate is lead by VP Mike Pence and President pro tempore Orrin Hatch, both Republicans, obvi.
The Majority (R) Leadership is 8 men, damn.
The Minority (D) Leadership is 8 men to 5 women, alright. The five women are Patty Murray, professional BAD ASS: Elizabeth Warren, Amy Klobuchar, and Tammy Baldwin.
Each state has two senators... some states then have bipartisan leadership and others well- don't.
Alaska: Lisa Murkowski (R)
California: Diane Feinstein (D), Kamala Harris (D)
Hawaii: Mazie Hirono (D)
Illinois: Tammy Duckworth (D)
Iowa: Joni Ernst (R)
Maine: Susan Collins (D)
Massachusetts: Elizabeth Warren (D)
Michigan: Debbie Stabenow (D)
Minnesota: Amy Klobuchar (D)
Missouri: Claire McCaskill (D)
Nebraska: Deb Fischer (R)
Nevada: Catherine Cortez Masto (D)
New Hampshire: Jeanne Shaheen (D), Maggie Hassan (D)
New York: Kirsten Gillibrand (D)
North Dakota: Heidi Heitkamp (D)
Washington: Patty Murray (D), Maria Cantwell (D)
West Virginia: Shelley Moore Capito (R)
Wisconsin: Tammy Baldwin (D)
So that's 21 out of 100 Senators are women. Oh. And the women are majority Democrats. Interesting.

Please take in mind that I wrote this in January-ish, so the names may be subject to change while new elections have taken effect. But ya know, I'm on the beach- can I live?
