On the recordFebruary 26, 2020
Last year marked the 100th anniversary of the ratification of the 19th Amendment. While I wish the House would have passed this bill last year to honor the centennial anniversary of the suffragettes' decades-long fight to win the right to vote, I am glad we are debating this bill now. The Every Word We Utter Monument will serve as a continual reminder of the courage shown by women engaged in the suffrage movement, and we must all work to do what we can for the future to be able to ensure quality and inclusion. I appreciate the opportunity to have worked with my colleagues from Colorado on this bill and especially my colleague from the Second District, Mr. Neguse. I have stood across from him a few times on this floor, and it is nice to be in agreement on a public lands bill that we are able to work together on now. It is a bill that will help us bring to light Loveland sculptor, Jane DeDecker's, work to Washington. I think it is an adequate effort to be able to help recognize the suffrage movement and the contribution of women to our Nation. Madam Speaker, I urge my colleagues to support this bill. Mr. McCLINTOCK. Madam Speaker, I yield back the balance of my time.
