The House passed Congresswoman Comstock's Inspiring Women Act by an overwhelming bipartisan majority. This legislation focuses on STEM education for young women and girls that will put them on a path to compete for 21st Century jobs.
Congresswoman Comstock has also brought her Young Women Leadership Program from Richmond to Capitol Hill. Inspired by Facebook COO Sheryl Sandberg's book Lean In, the program's aim is to foster confidence among young women through talks from a bipartisan group of women who lead in business, technology, education, and politics. In 2015, over 250 young women participated in this growing program.
