美国2018中期选举（midterm elections）诞生了全美有史以来的几个第一，例如妇女当选国会议员的人数创下新记录，其中包括第一次当选的美国原住民妇女和穆斯林妇女。

南达科他州（South Dakota）和缅因州（Maine）都选出了第一位女州长。爱荷华州（Iowa）的金·雷诺兹（Kim Reynolds）也成为该州第一位当选的女州长。特朗普总统（President Trump）任命特里·布兰斯塔德(Terry Branstad)担任驻华大使后，金·雷诺兹曾被任命接替布兰斯塔担任州长。

以下是2018年中期选举的几个第一，人名后并标注各自的党派归属。

Firsts from the 2018 election

The 2018 midterm elections saw history-making firsts across the country: a record-setting number of women elected to Congress, including its first female Native Americans and Muslims.

Voters in South Dakota and Maine elected their first female governors. In Iowa, Kim Reynolds likewise became the first woman in the state to be elected to that office. She had previously been appointed governor to replace her predecessor, Terry Branstad, after President Trump named him ambassador to China.

Here is a selection of 2018’s history makers and the parties — Republican (R) and Democratic (D) — they represent.
