115th United States Congress (We Can Do Better)

The One Hundred Fifteenth United States Congress is the next meeting of the legislative branch of the United States federal government, composed of the United States Senate and the United States House of Representatives. It is scheduled to meet in Washington, D.C. from January 3, 2017 to January 3, 2019, during what is slated to be the first two years of Donald Trump's presidency.

The election of November 2016 maintained Republican control of the House but resulted in Democratic control of the Senate, and also resulted in a more diverse membership. Three women from underrepresented groups were elected to the Senate quadrupling the number of women of color Senators and bringing the total number of women of color in Congress to 38. Although all six openly LGBTQ representatives in the House retained their seats, none of the 13 LGBTQ non-incumbent candidates were elected.
