Barbara Mikulski: “I believe there is a cornucopia of opportunity in our great American mosaic.”

Your leadership in placing the Women's Suffrage National Monument on the National Mall will expand our Nation's understanding of American women's leadership.

We especially thank Senate Appropriations Chairman Thad Cochran and Vice-Chairwoman Barbara Mikulski for their unwavering support for the NIH.

Without a monument to the great women of American history who paved the way for us to fully participate in and shape our democracy, the telling of the American story on our National Mall is not yet complete.

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