Mrvan addressed the House of Representatives with a statement celebrating the importance of Women\u2019s History Month.\n\nA video of the remarks is available here and the text of the remarks as prepared for delivery is below.\n\n\"Madam Speaker:It is with great respect and admiration that I rise to celebrate Women\u2019s History Month and its 2022 theme \u2013 Providing Healing, Promoting Hope.\n\n\"Each year, the National Women\u2019s History Project selects a unifying theme to recognize and promote Women\u2019s History Month. Generations of women of every race, class, and ethnic background have worked tirelessly to make our nation more resilient. This year\u2019s theme recognizes the relentless efforts of women during the COVID-19 pandemic, and the thousands of ways they have provided healing and hope throughout history.\n\n\"Today, I would like to honor Sandra Noe, Executive Director of the Meals on Wheels in Northwest Indiana, who has notably brought healing and hope to Indiana\u2019s First Congressional District during the COVID-19 pandemic. Sandra has worked with Meals on Wheels for 36 years, and this organization is dedicated to combating senior isolation and hunger.\n\n\"During the pandemic, Sandra was on the frontlines delivering hot meals and making at-home check-ins to seniors and other homebound individuals. As the demand for services increased over the past year, Meals on Wheels rose to the challenge. In 2021, they delivered over 1,700 meals daily, provided over 750,000 wellness checks, and celebrated its nine-millionth delivery.\n\n\"Sandra is also a member of the Nutrition Fellow Leadership Institute, an Alumnus of Leadership Northwest Indiana, and serves on numerous local boards focused on improving the quality of life for the people of Northwest Indiana.\n\n\"Madam Speaker, as we recognize Women\u2019s History Month, please join me in thanking Sandra and everyone at Meals on Wheels for the extraordinary services they provide to Northwest Indiana.\n\n\"Let us recommit to continuing to support their invaluable work and recognize this month and every day the invaluable ways that women continue to provide healing and promote hope not just in caregiving, but in all aspects of our society.\"", 1, "2026-03-30T01:40:41Z", "2026-04-08T02:06:17Z"]], "columns": ["url", "title", "date", "year", "month", "party", "chamber", "state", "member_name", "bioguide_id", "domain", "scraper", "source", "date_source", "text", "has_text", "collected_at", "updated_at"], "primary_keys": ["url"], "primary_key_values": ["https://mrvan.house.gov/media/press-releases/rep-frank-j-mrvan-statement-celebration-womens-history-month"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 1.8616088200360537, "source": "dwillis/congress-press", "source_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press", "license": "MIT", "license_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press/blob/main/LICENSE"}
