  Rashida Tlaib, who didn't have a Republican opponent, won her bid in Michigan's heavily Democratic 13th congressional district, according to NBC and Vox. She also made history in 2008 by becoming the first Muslim woman ever elected to the Michigan state legislature. Tlaib, a progressive, will serve in the seat of former Democrat Rep. John Conyers, Jr., who resigned last December after allegations that he sexually harassed female staffers. Ilhan Omar, a Democrat from Minnesota, was the nation's first Somali-American lawmaker. She was competing for a safe blue House district in Minneapolis and is also the state's first woman of color elected to Congress. Her race was called by the Associated Press.
