Barbara Mikulski: “We're all Senators and we need to trust each other.”

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.

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.

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.
