The Political Page, T+22 -- March 22, 2018

From a site that is blocked by the "blogger.app":

Vermont is famously liberal, home to fiery politicians like Howard Dean and Democratic socialists like Bernie Sanders.

But it now has another distinction that’s making liberals in the Green Mountain State cringe: it is now the only state in the country that never has sent a woman to Congress.

This became official Wednesday, when Governor Phil Bryant of Mississippi appointed Republican Cindy Hyde-Smith to the seat left vacant by retiring GOP member Thad Cochran. Hyde-Smith is the first woman sent by Mississippi to Congress.

Up in Vermont, the state’s first female governor, Madeleine Kunin, called it “a little embarrassing to be beaten out by Mississippi.”
