In the 116th Congress, women, minorities, and veterans have strong leaders. It has been extensively observed that this Congress is the most inclusive in history, with more females and representatives of racial sections in the House than any prior Congress — 106 women in the House, opposed to 92 in 2015, and 115 members of ethnicity, relative to 105 in 2015 (Lowande, Ritchie, & Lauterbach, 2019). The advocacy of such lawmakers is likely to go beyond what is usually reported by the media or put up for a floor vote. Increased diversity is probable to affect how politicians vote and what interests they battle for in the halls of the bureaucracy if historical trends hold.
