When women are empowered to contribute, we all benefit. We’re seeing it more and more here in the Senate. And I’m proud to be part of that. Watch highlights from my first Senate floor speech here:

#FeelGoodFriday Introducing (soon!) the newest member of our #Leatherneck family. #CutenessOverload #WIU

Students like @thekelseylee make a difference around the world. Kelsey collected shoes for Sole 4 Souls, a Nashville, TN-based non-profit that creates jobs and provide shoes and clothing to those in need. The result of Kelsey's efforts: 3,150 pairs of shoes. 👟
