Carolyn [Maloney] is the kind of legislator who, whether she’s in the majority or the minority, whether her party is in the majority or the minority, she doesn’t take “No” for an answer, and she frequently calls women leaders and say, “I think we should do this. This is really necessary for women.” And so she hangs in there and gets bills passed when people think it’s not possible.

Carolyn Maloney has extensive – she’s shown over and over again her creativity, her determination, her tenacity in fighting for women’s rights. She has passed a host of bills in many different areas, both national and global, with both national and global importance for women, and she’s on a Chair of Finance Committee so essentially in this economic crisis, we thought she would be perfect.

Carolyn Maloney identifies with the possibility of being raped, that’s why she hung in there for the Debbie Smith Bill. So it – it’s essential that in New York, if we can’t get a prominent woman in New York, where can we? I mean there’s so many states that have never even had a woman senator.

Carolyn Maloney is really constantly thinking, “How do we improve things?” You know, sees the glass always half-full, and you have to be an optimist to work in Washington. So that’s what I – we admire so much about her.

Thinking

Carolyn Maloney is very, very comfortable with a whole host of issues, but on women’s issues, she is really just one of the few people who understands that women are not only half of the world and half of the United States, but they need an advocate; that they have to have advocacy; that our issues cannot be ignored.

Carolyn Maloney knows how to get something done, and as I said, it doesn’t matter if she’s in the majority or the minority. It doesn’t matter if she’s chair of a committee or not, she can figure out how to get a piece of legislation passed, and that’s what is – is a unique quality.

Carolyn Maloney led the fight to make sure that DNA evidence kits are processed and passed the Debbie Smith Bill. She, when no one almost would listen to us on the whole issue of the Taliban and its treatment of women, she helped pass the Afghan Women’s Empowerment Act.
