Very interesting milestone IMO. Being that our political history has been so extremely paternal for so long.

Nevada becomes first state with majority female legislature

Women have hit a political jackpot in Nevada, after the appointment of women to two slots in the state assembly on Tuesday made the state the first in the nation with a majority female legislature.

"#ClarkCounty Commissioners made two appointments to the Nevada Assembly today and helped the state make history in the process," posted officials on the Clark County Facebook page.

Clark County commissioners in Las Vegas appointed Rochelle Nguyen, who will represent Assembly District 10, and Beatrice Duran, who will represent Assembly District 11.
With the addition of these two woman, the Nevada Legislature will be 50.8% female in 2019, according to the Center for American Women and Politics at Rutgers University.​

It will be interesting to see if they outlaw legal prostitution. And gambling. And 24 hour bars...

Female yes, but idoes it have more Republican or Democratic members? That is just as important with all Nevada's issues.

So you're wondering if legislators will legislate away all of the reasons anyone would want to visit Nevada and one of their biggest economic drivers? Do you have any reason at all to suspect that's their intention or did you just want to get a insult in on those nasty women?

You know women were the driving force to legalize prostitution in Canada.


I believe that prostitution, gambling and 24 hr bars are more issues for the religious (men and women) rather than being a cause for women

What would make you think they'd do that?

I guess the saying will have to be changed to the "Old Girls Club".

I think Nevada's legislature flipped blue in the 2016 election but in the 2018 election, it got even bluer and Dems landed a supermajority in the Assembly.

I may be wrong on this. I have to do some more research on it.

Kudos to the people of Nevada, and best of luck to the ladies in the legislature.
