Johh,

I am saddened to hear about the passing of my dear friend and predecessor, Congresswoman Pat Schroeder.

Pat Schroeder was the first woman elected to Congress from Colorado – and one of just 14 women in the House when she arrived on Capitol Hill. I was in high school when Pat was elected, and she inspired a generation of young women, like me, to dream high.

Pat exemplified the very best of what a leader should be. A pioneer for women's rights, she was a trailblazer, a role model, and a champion for her community.

Through her 24 years of service, she inspired our country with her confidence, intelligence, and fighting spirit. In Congress, Pat helped lead the charge to pass landmark legislation advocating for families, including the Family and Medical Leave Act of 1993.

Pat became a mentor and dear friend after I succeeded her, and I am eternally thankful, not only for all of the incredible work she did for our state, but for the guidance and friendship she provided along the way.

My condolences to Jim, Scott, and Jamie during this difficult time. Pat’s brilliance, passion, and wit will never be duplicated, but will always be remembered. We must honor her legacy by continuing to fight for a better world and equality for everyone.

Thank you,

Diana DeGette
