Barbara Mikulski: “The coast is part of our heritage, part of our identity, but it's also a big part of our economy.”

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.

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.

Nothing about me without me.

We are safe, we are secure, and we are undeterred.
