Living under diverse leaders

My wife and I have had the experience of living under, or being represented by:

the first African-American President

the first female governor of South Carolina, who also came from a family of Asians

the first African-American Senator from the deep South, since reconstruction

the first female Vice-President, who is also from both African and Asian ancestry

the first African-American governor of Maryland has been elected, and will become governor soon, God willing.

All of these have been competent leaders. Not perfect, and I haven't, and won't, agree with them all, but it's a privilege to live in a country where these things have taken place.
