Barbara Mikulski: “I think what the committee would appreciate, and also the Congress would appreciate, as it looks at climate change…”

When constituents come to you, make sure you do not promise results but promise best efforts, that you'll give it your best.

As the longest serving woman in congressional history, I proudly stand on the shoulders of the suffragists who fought bravely and boldly for generations to secure women's political equality.

It will be a proud day for our country when every girl who visits the National Mall is able to see herself represented amongst the giants of our national story.
