***AUTHORS SUBJECT TO CHANGE***
Relating to: proclaiming March 19 to be Wisconsin Celebrating Women in Public
Office Day.
Whereas, the month of March is Women's History Month and celebrates the
significant contributions that women of all races, ethnicities, and backgrounds have
made to the world; and
Whereas, women play a critical role in the vitality and diversity of our
communities and are essential to ensuring that Wisconsin is well represented; and
Whereas, while the twentieth century was a pivotal time of growth for women
entering politics, women remain underrepresented in male-dominated fields; thus,
providing opportunities to support women in public office is imperative; and
Whereas, recognizing women in public office will bring awareness to the
fundamental necessity of their work and will inspire other young people to serve
their communities; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the assembly, the senate concurring, That the legislature
hereby proclaims March 19 to be Wisconsin Celebrating Women in Public Office Day
