“Each year in the month of March, our Nation takes time to celebrate Women's History Month and to recognize the important role women have played in our personal, local, national, and world history. We have made progress elevating women throughout our society, but it is not enough. There is still more work to be done here at home and around the world. Women play a critical role in the history of every American. As the son of a single mother who worked multiple jobs while putting herself through night school, I owe everything I am to this strong, independent, American woman. She and millions of other women like her blazed the trail for me, for today's young women, and, particularly, for my 15-year-old daughter, Anderson. I am proud to be raising a young woman at a time where we have seen tremendous gains for women in our Nation. I am proud to serve alongside a historic 102 women here in this Congress, the 116th Congress, including trailblazers like Martha McSally, the first female fighter pilot in Congress, and numerous other Republican colleagues in the House who were the first women to represent their districts: Representatives like Liz Cheney and Elise Stefanik, who are working diligently to ensure more female candidates have the resources they need to compete in our election system, and countless others who inspire me.…”
