STEPHANIE has set the bar incredibly high with her dedication and devotion. and paved the way for future generations to follow. As an attorney. judge. and Member of Congress. she worked tirelessly on behalf of reducing poverty. ensuring access to education and affordable health care. and advocating for the rights of minorities nationwide. STEPHANIE and I saw eyetoeye on many important issues. whether it was fighting to ensure affordable housing. or for greater protection for Haitian and other refugees. or for the simple notion that every vote should be counted. In the 110th Congress alone STEPHANIE introduced legislation to revitalize lowincome communities. protect and ensure voting rights. curtail predatory lending. and provide greater resources for uterine fibroids research. a personal commitment of hers that I know she has carried for many years. STEPHANIE and I have similar backgrounds as lawyers. judges. and of course Members of Congress. and thus I have always thought that she and I shared a kinship that went beyond just our professional responsibilities.
