Friend,

Over the years, I've watched as more and more women become leaders in STEM
fields of science, technology, engineering, and math, and government (and at the
crossroads of both).

Even just over the last few months, I've seen women like our new Secretary of
Commerce, Gina Raimondo, and President Biden's nominee for Secretary of the
Interior, Deb Haaland, reaffirm their commitment to leading their departments
based on science. Haaland's longtime dedication to the environment will be an
indispensable asset as she helps implement the Biden administration's climate
and clean energy agenda.

And on a personal note, last month, I was honored to be named chair of the
Senate Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation. I'm the first woman
to chair this committee, but I certainly won't be the last.

There's still more work to do to empower women in these fields and balance the
inequities in our workforce. On this International Wome‌n's Da‌y, I'm reflecting
on how far we've come, and I hope you will, too, while also supporting women in
STEM and the progress they're making.

There is more we can do to help women in the workforce, particularly in STEM fields.
On International Women's Day, sign on if you agree that the Senate should make
this a priority!

Thank you,
Maria Cantwell
