WASHINGTON - When the 106th Congress convenes in January, six new women will be among the ranks of the largest delegation to serve in the nation’s history. The election offive female Democrats and one Republican brings the total number of women in the House to 56, for a net gain of two. The number ofwomen in the Senate stayed at nine, with Democrat Sen. Carol Moseley-Braun’s loss in Illinois and former Rep. Blanche Lambert Lincoln’s (D) victory in Arkansas. Moseley-Braun’sdefeat left the Senate with no African-Ameri- can members. In the House, the number of blacks stayed steady at 39, with one new face, StephanieTubbs Jones, D-Ohio, who won the seat vacated by the retirement of Rep. Louis Stokes, D-Ohio, who had represented the Cleveland district for three decades. All of the House’s black members are Democrats,except for Rep. J. C. Watts, Okla.
