#Squad—The Female Democratic Senators of the United States

Taylor Swift has a squad—and so does Hillary Clinton.

This evening, a group of strong, independent, and smart women will join the stage together. They will represent the amazing progress we’ve made representing and uplifting women, and the issues that impact us and our nation. These women will share the stage to powerfully tell America that Hillary is the candidate to move our country forward. Because let’s be real, when women are at the decision-making table, results are better for American families. We are #StrongerTogether—so make sure to tune into the livestream at 7:15 pm E.T.

Fun fact—there have only been 46 women senators since the start of that body in 1789. Tonight, the Democratic Party will feature 13 of them. Their individual stories are each unique, and collectively they are a band of sisters fighting for legislation that will improve the lives of their constituents, women, and the nation.

This squad has many “firsts.” The first Asian American senator. The first openly gay senator. And many are the first woman senators from their state. With each nomination, they are making tiny cracks in the glass ceiling. It’s because of these women that this generation will be able to see that a woman’s place is in the House and the Senate. And now, in the Oval Office.

That’s why this election is both historic and symbolic. When we go knocking door-to-door, phone banking our friends and family, and driving our peers to the polls in November, we are making it possible for young women and girls to say, “I, too, can be President of the United States.”

Here’s a closer look at Hillary’s squad. (Take note: This is one seriously impressive group of women—no, of people. #SquadGoals.)

Senator Barbara Mikulski, Maryland—the first woman elected to the United States Senate from Maryland—and currently serves as Dean of the Senate.

Senator Diane Feinstein, California—has served in the Senate since 1992. She also served as the 38th Mayor of San Francisco from 1978 to 1988.

Senator Patty Murray, Washington—Washington’s first female senator.

Senator Debbie Stabenow, Michigan—the first person to have served as a Michigan state legislator to be popularly elected to the U.S. Senate.
