Unfortunately, we have taken some steps backwards in the last couple
of years. The numbers of women in legislative office at the State level
have gone down, but I do believe that Republican and Democratic women,
together, have put together a strong agenda for the things that we care
about around families. I am very pleased to have already worked with one of the members of
your caucus across the aisle, Ileana Ros-Lehtinen, on a letter around
domestic violence victims and the immigration system. I am very pleased
about the work that the gentlewoman has championed and that we intend
to, together, lead around making sure that families have security for
themselves and for their children. I rise to congratulate the gentlewoman for what the gentlewoman is
speaking about today, for the work that the gentlewoman has done, and
to say that I remain very committed to trying to find all of the areas
where we women, together, can put forward priorities that are important
to us.
