March 15, 2019 - Introduced by Senator Bernier, cosponsored by Representative Subeck. Referred to Committee on Senate Organization.

SJR12,1,2 Relating to: proclaiming March 19 to be Wisconsin Celebrating Women in Public Office Day.

SJR12,1,5 Whereas, the month of March is Women's History Month and celebrates the significant contributions women of all races, ethnicities, and backgrounds have made to the world; and

SJR12,1,7 Whereas, women play a critical role in the vitality and diversity of our communities and are essential to ensuring that Wisconsin is well represented; and

SJR12,1,10 Whereas, while the twentieth century was a pivotal time of growth for women entering politics, women remain underrepresented in male-dominated fields; thus, providing opportunities to support women in public office is imperative; and

SJR12,1,13 Whereas, recognizing women in public office will bring awareness to the fundamental necessity of their work and will inspire other young people to serve their communities; now, therefore, be it

SJR12,2,3 Resolved by the senate, the assembly concurring, That the legislature hereby proclaims March 19 to be Wisconsin Celebrating Women in Public Office Day and calls upon the people of Wisconsin to unite as we support the success of women in public office and observe every March 19 with appropriate activities, events, and programs.
