I am a current junior at Kenyon College and the founder and CEO of my foundation, the National Memorial to the Women Who Worked on the Home Front. Our goal is to get a national memorial to the working WWII women on federal land in the district and we’ve made lots of progress so far. Last December, Biden signed our legislation into law.
