McSally commemorates 100 years of women’s right to vote

On June 4, United States Senator Martha McSally commemorated the 100th anniversary of the passage of the 19th Amendment by the U.S. Senate.

McSally joined the Senate to unanimously pass a resolution introduced by all 25 female Senators to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the passage and ratification of the 19th Amendment, McSally’s team said.

The resolution reads, “Resolved, that the Senate celebrates the 100 th anniversary of the passage and ratification of the 19 th Amendment, providing women’s suffrage, to the Constitution of the United States; honors the role of the ratification of the 19 th Amendment in further promoting the core values of our democracy as promised by the Constitution of the United States; reaffirms the opportunity for people in the United States to learn about and commemorate the efforts of the women’s suffrage movement and the role of women in our democracy; and reaffirms the desire of Congress to continue strengthening democratic participation and to inspire future generations to cherish and preserve the historic precedent established under the 19 th Amendment.”

The Senators have also introduced the Women’s Suffrage Centennial Commemorative Coin Act, a legislation that would authorize the Treasury Department to mint coins in honor of the ratification of the 19th Amendment, McSally’s team said.
