A RESOLUTION
To designate Thursday, June 3, 2021, as Women in Public Office Day at the state capitol.
WHEREAS, women of all races, ethnicities, and backgrounds have made significant
contributions to the world and merit celebration; and
WHEREAS, women play a critical role in our communities; their presence
contributes to the vitality and diversity of such communities and to the state of Louisiana as
a whole; and

entering politics, women remain underrepresented in the political sphere including elected
and appointed positions in government, even as they comprise 55% of registered voters; and

and
WHEREAS, recognizing women in public office will raise awareness of the
fundamental necessity of their contributions and will inspire other women to serve in public
office as well.
THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the House of Representatives of the
Legislature of Louisiana does hereby designate Thursday, June 3, 2021, as Women in Public
Office Day at the state capitol and does hereby call upon the people of Louisiana to celebrate
