On the recordMarch 4, 2015
I want to say this is not a Democratic women's issue. We are in this on a bipartisan basis. I want to note that the Democratic women are here because the Republican women are chairing committees and subcommittees. I know the Senator from New Hampshire, Ms. Ayotte, will be on the floor shortly. The distinguished Senator from Maine, Ms. Collins, is at a very important Navy appropriations committee hearing. So when my colleagues see us, don't assume it is just Democratic women. It is all of us together. But their responsibility has them at another duty station right this minute. I wanted to explain where we are. I yield the floor back to Senator Shaheen of New Hampshire. The PRESIDING OFFICER. The Senator from New Hampshire.
