RECOGNIZING FEMALE LEADERS WHO SHE LEADS AMERICA IS HONORING AS

CHRISTIAN WOMEN OF DISTINCTION

______

HON. LISA C. McCLAIN

of michigan

in the house of representatives

Friday, September 30, 2022

Mrs. McCLAIN. Madam Speaker, I rise to honor and highlight the work of some extraordinary female leaders in our country who are being honored by She Leads America as ``Christian Women of Distinction.''

For my constituents back in Michigan, I try and lead by example through my faith and commitment to public service. But many times, people don't look to Washington for their role models. Fortunately, it does not take long to find others guided by their strong moral compass, faith, and commitment to selfless public service. Today, I honor some of these women, who through their tireless dedication, have shattered glass ceilings and touched the lives of countless individuals around the world. For my part, I remain committed to defending religious freedom here in Congress to ensure each of these women, and all of my constituents, never have to compromise their religious beliefs in order to conform to whatever the trending culture is at the moment.

One of these women, Lynn Fitch, is the 40th and current Attorney General for the state of Mississippi. At the age of 23, she began her legal career as a Special Assistant Attorney General at the Mississippi Attorney General's Office. She continued her career accumulating more than 35 years of legal experience both in private practice and public service as State Treasurer, Vice President for the National Association of Treasurers, and Chair of the State Financial Officers Foundation. She served on the Executive Committee of the National Association of Attorneys General and is currently serving as Co-Chair of the National Association of Attorneys General Human Trafficking Conunittee. She was named in TIME's list of the 100 most influential people in the world in 2022 and has also been active in her community, serving as a board member of several charitable organizations.

Madam Speaker, I hope these women, such as Attorney General Fitch, know full well the impact they have had on countless lives. These women are trailblazers, and the example they have set will be followed by people of my district, and many other Americans, for years to come. I thank each of them for their passion and commitment. This honor is well-deserved.
