I love to point to WV for an example of this. It's the reddest of red states now, but if I told you that in the mid 90s you'd have thought I was insane. The first woman they sent to Congress was more notable for being the first Republican they elected to Congress in half a century, which is even longer proportionally for a state that was founded during the Civil War.
