Friend,

100 years ago today, the 19th Amendment was ratified, giving women the right to vote.

However, we still have work to do to ensure every eligible citizen has equal access to their voting rights.

Despite their pivotal role in the women’s suffrage movement, Black women, Native American women, and other women of color were still blocked from voting for decades. And still today, voter purges, long lines, and other forms of disenfranchisement make it difficult for many voters to cast their ballots.

In 2018, I became one of a record number of women elected to Congress, and one of four women elected to the previously all-male Pennsylvania delegation. I owe my success to women (and men) who turned out from across the district to create a historic Blue Wave victory.

In Congress, I’ve continued to be a tireless advocate for women’s rights and choices. I’ve worked to improve workplace protections for women, defend the right to choose, and support parental leave policies. I also helped remove a barrier to passing the Equal Rights Amendment.

Today, in honor of the countless women who paved the way forward, I’m renewing my commitment to do all I can to advance women’s rights.

Thank you for standing with me,

Susan
