and MD Republican
Congresswoman
Dear Carolyn,
Congratulations on your successful efforts in the introduction of HJ Res. 47.
I am in agreement with the Resolution. Unfortunately, I will not be able to attend the event on November 12 since I will be out of town, returning the next day.
I was appointed to the first Montgomery County Commission for Women in 1972, becoming its second president. I lobbied for equity for women in education, credit, housing, employment, and the Equal Rights Amendment.
The ERA did finally pass the MD legislature, but my experience in seeking women's rights motivated me to run for office. Thus began my political service in the MD legislature and later in the US House of Representatives. So I say "the women's movement put the movement into me."
You have my best wishes for a successful event - and passage of HJ Res. 47.

Carolyn is a busy and active resident in Ward 4. Carolyn is a strong advocate for all women's issues and worked with me to introduce, "Sense of the DC Council that the District of Columbia supports the ratification of the Equal Rights Amendment as the 28th Amendment to the Constitution of the United States Resolution of 2011." It passed unanimously, by the way. Carolyn's passion coupled with her leadership is authentic, commendable and appreciated.
Sincerely yours,
Muriel Bowser
