Women's History Month

Congresswoman Ginny Brown-Waite issued a press release this afternoon urging all Americans to celebrate March as Women's History Month by honoring women who have helped shape our Nation. "Women's History Month is a time to honor the lives of the courageous women who have helped shape our nation, from Anne Bradstreet to Susan B. Anthony to Condoleezza Rice. I am confident that women will continue to influence our country and our world for the better," said Rep. Brown-Waite. Congresswoman Brown-Waite is asking that all Americans recognize women from their local communities in the month of March. In her press release, she named many influential women's names at the national level, as well as from the state of Florida. One name that she forgot to add was her own, Ginny Brown-Waite. I believe Ginny needs to be recognized at the local level for her many accomplishments over the last 16 years or so. She began her political career at the Hernando County Planning & Zoning Commission as a volunteer and then was elected to the Board of County Commissioners. Ginny then served as a distinguished member in the Senate Florida before becoming our representative in Congress. Ginny deserves an attaboy from all us here in Hernando County for her outstanding accomplishments!
