“I rise to support H.R. 2030, the Patsy Takemoto Mink Post Office Building offered by Representative Ed Case. Congresswoman Patsy Mink was a trailblazer who fought for the passage of the Women's Educational Equity Act--landmark legislation. This groundbreaking legislation, Title IX, promoted educational equity and opened the playing fields for millions of girls and women. Patsy Mink stood up and spoke up for girls and women. She was a member of the Government Reform Committee and I am please that I had the opportunity to work with her. She will be missed but her legacy will continue not only in the naming of this post office but in the legislative policies she supported. I join my colleagues in honoring Patsy Mink for her service and for being a true role model for women and all Americans.”
