Washington, Colombia County – US Senators Cynthia Lummis and John Baraso have recently introduced a resolution in honor of the 100th anniversary of Nelly Teeloe Ross of Wyoming, which has become the first woman elected in the United States.
The bill’s proposal comes from the students of Green River, and Lummis and Barasso introduced the resolution in the Senate of the United States.
“Wyoming has long been a home for women. The worship of governor Ross at the 100th anniversary of the election reminds us of the women who made the way for the opportunities we have today, “Lummis said. “As we celebrate her heritage, we also recognize the lasting impact of her guidance on our country and nation. I want to thank the Green River High students for sharing their fabulous idea to do this possible. ”
“Wyoming women broke out the trace of women’s rights and equality after the founding of our country,” Baraso added. “A hundred years ago, governor Nelly Teeloe Ross was selected as the first woman governor in America. Its historical elections remind us of the lasting impact that Wyoming women have had on our country and a nation for generations.
“Senator Lummis and I are proud to partner with students at Green River High School to honor the legacy of Governor Ross and all Wyoming women who continue to live the West code.”
Governor Ross was opened as the 14th Wyoming Manager on January 5, 1925 and served two years. She became the first female director of the United States Monna Court.
