Women make up 33% of Democratic Senators and Representatives compared to the Republican’s 9.7% female voting members. 2018 is an exciting time to be voting with a record number of women stepping up for House and Senate races and with new female candidates entering elections at all levels across the nation.

This May, The Education Committee provided snapshots of some exceptional women and the interesting races in which they are running.

Today is the start of National Hispanic Heritage Month. During this time, we celebrate the histories, cultures, and contributions of American citizens whose ancestors came from Spain, Mexico, the Caribbean, and Central and South America. The observation started in 1968 as Hispanic Heritage Week under President Lyndon Johnson and was expanded by President Ronald Reagan in 1988 to cover 30 days beginning on September 15 and ending on October 15. It was enacted into law on August 17, 1988, on the approval of Public Law 100-402. The day of September 15 is significant because it is the anniversary of independence for Latin American countries Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, and Nicaragua. Also, Mexico and Chile celebrate their independence days on September 16 and September18, respectively. Also, Columbus Day or Día de la Raza, which is October 12, falls within these 30 days. #HispanicHeritageMonth #democratsabroad
