Dear Friends,
I'm delighted to share that my bill to authorize the first outdoor women's suffrage monument passed out of the U.S. House of Representatives this week! This legislation was inspired by individuals in Colorado, who have been fighting for this monument for years and I am incredibly proud to usher passage of this historic legislation which will commemorate the women's suffrage movement, celebrate the women who secured equal voting rights and inspire our future generations.
Dear Friends,
