Top Women in Politics

Tulsi Gabbard, 31, might be a young politician, but she has plenty of experience under her belt already. In 2002, at age 21, she was elected to serve as a state representative and was the youngest woman in the US to do so. Two years into the position, she deployed to Iraq as a member of the Hawaii Army National Guard. After serving a couple of tours, the Hawaiian people later elected her to the Honolulu City Council, which is where she serves now. But her next adventure is upon her: Gabbard just won the race for Democratic congressional representative.
