Political Quotes

“Women's History Month offers an opportunity to reflect on the courageous, patriotic women who have helped write our Nation's story. Indeed, in every chapter of our history, women have been at the forefront: fighting for our rights, forging progress in every aspect of society, and pushing our nation to live up to our most cherished ideals. So, it is in that powerful, pioneering spirit that I rise today in support of legislation that will honor two of these historic Americans: Justice Sandra Day O'Connor and Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg. From their seats on the highest Court in the land, they were not only instrumental to upholding and defending our Constitution--but they paved a path in the field of law for generations of women to follow. With this bill, we honor their extraordinary service by welcoming to the United States Capitol statues of these two trailblazing women. Thank you to Congresswoman Lois Frankel for your tireless, persistent leadership in establishing this special tribute--and for all that you do for America's women and girls. Thanks also to Chair Zoe Lofgren: who, at the helm of the Committee on House Administration, has been a steadfast champion in bringing more diversity and inclusion to monuments that fill the halls of the Congress. These statues will not only ensure that Justices O'Connor and Ginsburg take their rightful place here, among the many heroes of our history.…”
