What do you think about women in Congress?

Freshmen 9th – Valeria Gutierrez

“Women in Congress for me are very important, they symbolize that women do have opportunities and the courage to stand tall as leaders, even in heels.  I believe women in Congress also have the power to turn the world upside down again.”

Sophomore 10th – Samantha Delgado

“I think women in Congress are amazing and it shows how far women’s rights have come.  Having women in Congress is a chance to show that we’re just as good as men even in decision making and also it is a chance to break gender inequality barriers.”

Junior 11th – Dafne Molina

“Its a good thing that women are now being involved in politics.  It shows how far we’ve come along from not having the right to vote to now being able to shape the country.  It’s just sad that we have to work twice as hard as man only to get partial recognition.”

Senior 12th – Lauren Gil

“I think it’s empowering to see women hold such powerful positions in government.  These women are role models for younger girls everywhere.”
