A year ago, Rep. Gutiérrez introduced the “Put a Woman on the Twenty Act of 2015” (H.R. 1910) to urge the Secretary of the Treasury to put a woman’s portrait on American money. After first announcing in 2015 that the ten dollar bill would be changed to include a woman or women, Secretary Jack Lew announced yesterday that Alexander Hamilton would remain on the $10 note, but abolitionist leader Harriet Tubman would grace the $20 note when it is redesigned. Also about a year ago, Rep. Gutiérrez gave a speech in Congress about why he thinks Harriet Tubman would be an excellent choice to replace President Andrew Jackson on the $20 bill. She had just won an on-line poll in which 600,000 people had cast votes as part of the “Women on 20s“ campaign.
