Congressman Delaney Statement on Women’s History Month

Press Release
Delaney Facebook page will highlight women leaders each day of March

WASHINGTON – Since 1987, Congress has recognized March as Women’s History Month. For each day of Women’s History Month, Congressman John K. Delaney’s (MD-6) Facebook page will highlight women leaders from across the Sixth District and around the world.

 

“Women’s history is a story that needs to be told. From current leaders like Senator Barbara Mikulski and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, to trailblazers like Susan B. Anthony and Harriet Tubman, our country has been shaped by brave, bold, and outspoken women,” said Congressman Delaney.  “I believe Women’s History Month is an opportunity to celebrate the amazing contributions of women around the globe who have not waited to be asked but instead rolled up their sleeves to do the hard work of making our world a better place. While one month cannot truly represent the work of over half the population, it is an excellent opportunity to highlight some of the achievements that make up the fabric of our society. Having been blessed with four daughters and a brilliant wife I know how important women are and we should all celebrate the women in our lives. Each day this month we’ll be highlighting women who have made a difference on our Facebook page and inviting constituents to suggest individuals who inspire them.”

 

Constituents are invited to nominate women who have inspired them in their life by clicking here or emailing John Taylor Donoghue at JohnTaylor.Donoghue@mail.house.gov .
