Diversity wins: All of the people who made history in the 2018 midterm elections

Rashida Tlaib and Ilhan Omar became the first Muslim women elected to Congress in US history on Tuesday night.

Tlaib is set to represent Michigan's 13th Congressional District.

The progressive Democrat is the daughter of Palestinian immigrants and was also the first Muslim female member of Michigan's state legislature.

Ilhan Omar, a progressive Democrat who is also the first Somali-American woman elected to Congress, came to the US as a refugee.

She's set to represent Minnesota's 5th Congressional District.

Tlaib and Omar campaigned together earlier this year.

Democratic Rep. Jared Polis on Tuesday night became the first openly gay man elected as the governor of a US state.

Polis, a Democrat, won the Colorado gubernatorial race against Republican Walker Stapleton.

He was not shy about his sexual orientation on the campaign trail whatsoever. "I think it really gives Colorado an opportunity to stick a thumb in the eye of Mike Pence, whose view of America is not as inclusive as where America is today," Polis said of his candidacy during a speech earlier this year.

Sharice Davids, a member of the Ho-Chunk Nation, will be the first Native American woman to serve in Congress after winning a big victory in Kansas on Tuesday night.

Davids defeated four-term Republican incumbent Rep. Kevin Yoder.

Davids, a lesbian, will represent Kansas' 3rd Congressional District. She's also the first openly LGBTQ person to represent Kansas in Congress.
