"I proudly voted to remove the procedural barrier blocking the ratification of the ERA and to affirm the bedrock principles of our democracy. I took my first vote as West Virginia's Senator in support of legislation that gave women and men the right to equal pay for equal work, and now I am continuing the fight for equality and fairness. West Virginia was one of the first states to ratify the ERA guaranteeing women equal rights under the Constitution and I was proud to express our West Virginia values by voting for the ERA today."
