Senate Democrats marked the end of Women’s History Month by celebrating some exceptional women for their contributions to their communities and the state.
In a ceremony on the Tennessee Senate floor, the caucus recognized women in government, healthcare, and law who are making an impact in their communities and serving as an example to Tennesseans everywhere.
To mark the occasion, the Senate Democratic Caucus presented resolutions to the honorees during a presentation and hosted a luncheon in their honor.
