Former New Hampshire Senator Kelly Ayotte broke a glass ceiling in 2004 when she became the New England state's first female attorney general.

In 2010, she was elected to the U.S. Senate and narrowly lost re-election in 2016. Known for her bipartisan efforts, Ayotte received positive farewell messages from both her Democrat and Republican peers in the Senate.

"She's a warrior, she's a class act, and she's my friend," stated Democratic Senator Claire McCaskill of Missouri last year. "There is something about her demeanor that lifts you up."
