California Attorney General Kamala Harris defeated Rep. Loretta Sanchez (D) in Tuesday’s election for California’s open seat in the U.S. Senate, making her the first black woman elected to the upper chamber in more than two decades. 

Harris will replace outgoing Sen. Barbara Boxer (D-Calif.), who announced her retirement in 2014 after serving more than two decades in the Senate.

In doing so, she’s breaking down some noteworthy barriers: Harris is the second black woman and the first South Asian-American to serve in the Senate. She’s also the first woman of color to represent California in the chamber.
