These Five Women Were Bridesmaids in Each Other's Weddings -- Now They're All State Senators

They are longtime friends who have been bridesmaids in each other’s weddings, worked for and with each other for years, and supported one another with daily text chains and phone calls. And on Nov. 6, these five Democratic women candidates each won their state Senate races by double digits in Colorado, with their wins flipping the Senate from red to blue for the first time since 2013.

“We were all in it together,” Jessie Danielson, a state representative who brought her toddler daughter on the campaign trail, tells PEOPLE. The wins, she says, were “pretty amazing.”

Rep. Chris Collins (R-NY) declared victory in his bid to hold onto his Buffalo-area district, Roll Call reports.

Buffalo News: “The final tally means that barring any further action, Collins succeeded in preserving the 27th District for the GOP even after his Aug. 8 indictment on federal charges of insider trading. It also means that the 27th District, the most Republican of any district in New York State, remained in the Republican column by the slimmest of margins.”

Challenger Nate McMurray (D) tweeted to supporters: “Enough condolences guys. Cheer up! You’d think I was indicted and going to jail or something.”

Bonus Tweet of the Day

George Moscone was a trailblazer. A new documentary reminds California just how much.

t is no small tragedy that George Moscone’s life was cut short 40 years ago this month and he was not allowed to fulfill his purpose of righting wrongs for Californians.

As a state senator, he championed bills that established California’s school lunch program, mandated bilingual education in public schools and overturned the state’s sodomy statute. He also worked on abortion rights, gun control, the death penalty and lessening of marijuana penalties. As mayor of San Francisco, Moscone included people who were traditionally left out -- women, African Americans, Asians, LGBTQ people and others -- more than ever before in government.

Jonathan Moscone, says in the documentary “Moscone: A Legacy of Change,” airing Nov. 5 on KVIE and later this month on other PBS stations throughout the country. “He pushed the doors open, and he kept them open and they never closed. I think the flow into and out of the halls of power changed dramatically because of my dad.”


Moscone met Willie Brown, the former state Assembly speaker and San Francisco mayor, at UC Hastings College of Law while both worked as custodians to pay tuition. “George Moscone was different than any white man I had ever met,” Brown says in the documentary. “The comfort level of your conversation with Moscone, your social interactions with Moscone, was absolutely no different than your comfort level of social interactions with any other black guy.”
