Women There are many issues that come before Congress that address the unique opportunities and challenges that women face. I have introduced legislation that seeks to bring increased attention and stimulate research for women's bleeding disorders - conditions that are often misdiagnosed and commonly lead to unnecessary surgeries and hysterectomies. I am a cosponsor of the Paycheck Fairness Act, increasing the opportunities for women to earn equitable wages with men. I have focused my attention in the International Relations Committee on the many issues facing women abroad, and have supported community events and legislation aimed at increasing women-owned business opportunities.
