    On Tuesday night, history was made in the state of Kentucky. Voters elected the first African-American to statewide office, making Jenean Hampton Kentucky's new lieutenant governor. Hampton, who ran as the now Governor-elect Matt Bevin's running mate, is an outspoken tea party supporter, making her a rare find among her white counterparts. She's also a newcomer to the political arena. Last year, the 58-year-old ran for her first political seat against Jody Richards, the longest-serving state representative in Kentucky history. Hampton lost, but gained an endorsement from Kentucky Senator and Republican Presidential Candidate Rand Paul.
