Mr. Speaker, I rise in recognition of National Women's History Month, the roots of which are in my district. It was in Santa Rosa, California, that the National Women's History Project was founded, and I am proud to continue the legacy of recognizing the many contributions women have made to our country by introducing the National Women's History Month Resolution. The theme of this year's bipartisan Women's History Month is honoring women in public service and government. And this year I am recognizing five extraordinary women in my district: Josephine Orozco, Maria Guevara, Evelyn Cheatham, Linda Parks, and Monica Rosenthal. Honoring women should not be limited to 1 month out of the year. We need to work every day to make sure women have the same opportunities as men have to succeed because when women succeed, America succeeds. ____________________
