AI Summary
This Resolution formally acknowledges the significant milestone of a record number of women serving in the 2023 Kentucky General Assembly, which is the state's legislative body. It highlights that this achievement coincides with National Women's History Month, a time to celebrate women's contributions to society and movements for equality. Specifically, the Resolution notes that the Kentucky Senate now has nine women out of 38 members, a historic ratio, and the House of Representatives includes 31 women out of 100 members, contributing to the highest overall number of women elected to both chambers. The Resolution also emphasizes that these women legislators follow in the footsteps of pioneers like Senator Georgia Davis Powers and serve as inspiring role models for young girls and women, encouraging them to consider public service. Finally, it directs the Clerk of the Senate to share this Resolution with Senator Harper Angel.
