Bill Summary
Honoring Julia Butler Hansen.
AI Summary
This resolution honors Julia Butler Hansen, a pioneering Washington state politician who served in both the state legislature and U.S. Congress. The resolution recognizes her significant political achievements, including being the first woman to chair a Congressional Appropriations Subcommittee and her close relationships with Presidents John F. Kennedy and Lyndon Johnson. It highlights her extensive political career, which began on the Cathlamet Town Council and spanned 21 years in the Washington State House of Representatives (1939-1960) and 14 years in the U.S. Congress (1960-1974), representing the 18th Legislative District and 3rd Congressional District, respectively. The resolution also emphasizes the historical importance of the Julia Butler Hansen House, which is the oldest surviving pioneer structure in Wahkiakum County and contains a unique collection of personal and professional artifacts, including photographs, telegrams, and letters from prominent political figures. Ultimately, the Washington State House of Representatives seeks to formally honor Hansen's life, legacy, and substantial contributions to public service.
