She is an openly gay Native American in the middle of Kansas.

This is huge! In the middle of Kansas, Sharice Davids has flipped a red House seat blue, and she's an LGBTQ ex-MMA-fighting Native American.
First-ever Native American elected to Congress, first LGBTQ person elected to Congress in Kansas! (Image via head shot)
Also amazing: Kansas has a new Democratic governor! Bye to horrendous Kris Kobach:
#KSGOV: Laura Kelly (D) defeats Kris Kobach (R). Democrat flip. Kansas voted 58%-36% for Trump in 2016.

Currently, Dems are expected to win back the House after some nail-biting moments earlier.
