In the article “The changing face of Congress in 7 charts”, it shows how the demographic of the Congress has changed over the years. At present the Congress is racially very diverse. 124 lawmakers are Black, Hispanic, Asian/Pacific, or Native Americans. However there is still a long way to go in terms of Congress’s diversity. Women in the Congress are also at an all-time high with 144 members. The number of Millennials and Gen Xers in Congress has risen slightly in recent years. Immigrants are also a part of the Congress body now. There are fewer veterans in the Congress now. Congress members also have a college degree and are religiously diverse too(Schaeffer, 2021).
