Political Quotes

On the recordJanuary 18, 2022
Today, I rise to honor the legacy of the late Congresswoman Barbara Rose-Collins, Michigan's first African-American Congresswoman. She was a trailblazer who inspired many women to seek public office. Congresswoman Rose-Collins got her start in public service as a member of the Detroit public school board. She served as a Michigan State legislator and a Detroit City Council member before being elected to the United States Congress in 1990. During her tenure in the U.S. Congress, Congresswoman Rose-Collins advocated for food and agriculture policies to assist communities with food insecurity. She was a fierce defender of human rights in Detroit, across the country, and abroad. She dedicated her career to making our community stronger and our country better. Please join me in recognition of Congresswoman Barbara Rose-Collins' many years of dedicated public service as we honor her memory. ____________________
