Family ties and widow's succession

Winnifred Sprague Mason Huck of Illinois, the third woman ever elected to Congress, became the first woman followed into national office due to family connections. She succeededher father into the House in the wake of his death in 1921; Huck won a special election to fill out the remainder of his term, but lost aprimary election for renomination in her own right, so she served just 14 weeks.[51][52] In 1990, Rep.Susan Molinari become the first woman elected to fill a vacancy caused by the resignation ofher father rather than his death.[53]

Mae Nolan of California becomes the first woman elected to Congress to fill the vacant seat caused by the death ofher husband in 1922, which is sometimes known as thewidow's succession.[52][54] In the early years of women in Congress, such a seat was usually held only until the next general election, and the women retired after that single Congress, thereby becoming a placeholders to finishing elected terms of their husbands.[54] As the years progressed, however, more and more of these widow successors sought reelection. These women began to win their own elections, withFlorence Prag Kahn of California becoming the first woman to do it. After entering the House of Representatives in 1925 to replaceher late husband, she established herself as an effective legislator in her own right and would go on to win reelection five more times.[54][55] Rep.Debbie Dingell of Michigan succeeded her living spouse after his retirement, becoming the first woman to do it.[56]

To date, 45 women have directly succeeded their late husbands in Congress, with 38 of them seated in the House and eight in the Senate.[51] The only current example is RepresentativeDoris Matsui of California.[b] One of the most prominent examples wasMargaret Chase Smith of Maine, who served a total of 32 years in both the House and the Senate and been the first woman to do so. She began the end ofMcCarthyism with a famous speech, "TheDeclaration of Conscience", became the first major-party female presidential candidate and the first woman to receive votes at anational nominating convention, and was the first (and highest ranking to date) woman to enter the GOP Senate leadership (in the third-highest post ofChairwoman of the Senate Republican Conference).

Frances P. Bolton of Ohio became the first woman overlapping a tenure with her child in either chamber of Congress. She served alongsideher son in the House of Representatives from 1953 to 1957 and again from 1963 to 1965; making them the first mother-son team ever to be simultaneously elected.[51][57]

In 1965,Elizabeth Kee of West Virginia became the first woman who directly preceded her own child in any chamber of Congress; event occurred after she stepped down from the House andher son was elected to a vacant seat.[58] CongresswomenLoretta andLinda Sánchez, both of California, served along each other from 2003 to 2017; making them the first pair of sisters elected to either chamber.[51][59]

Women who gave birth while serving in the House

There have been 15[fj] women whogave birth at least once during their tenure as members of the House of Representatives.[51] Two women gave birth multiple times, each giving birth three times while in office; one woman gave birth twice, once while serving in the House, and once while serving in theUnited States Senate.

During the118th Congress, CongresswomenAnna Paulina Luna andBrittany Pettersen proposed different rule changes to allowproxy voting for new mothers (and new fathers per Pettersen's proposal).[78] CongressmembersSara Jacobs andMike Lawler joined the cause during the119th Congress.[79] Pettersen has taken her infant child to several congressional committee meetings and also gave a speech on the floor of the House while holding her 9-week old son.[80][81] Luna eventually dropped her demand for proxy voting, and settled on a formalization of avote pairing system in which an absent member could seek a member who would otherwise vote the opposite way to abstain instead. This arrangement was passed on aparty-line vote with Republicans supporting the vote pairing system and Democrats opposing it.[82]
