DiscoHeaven23 35,007 Posted December 13, 2017 Share Posted December 13, 2017 Al Franken's replacement in the US senate is Lt. Governor Tina Smith. The governor of Minnesota made the choice. Tina Smith is a progressive Democrat. She will fill that spot until the 2018 special election, when it's expected she will not run so that other democratic candidates can run. She becomes the 51st woman to ever become a US senator. Her addition will bring the total of current female senators to 22 Source: http://www.cnn.com/2017/12/13/politics/tina-smith-minnesota-al-franken/index.html Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

DeleteMyAccount 11,881 Posted December 13, 2017 Share Posted December 13, 2017 I love how she could be Tammy Baldwin's(Wisconsin Senator) sister. But anyway, YES, I'm glad to have another woman in Congress. Hopefully she does her job well! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
