September 30, 2009
SEATTLE –
Rep. Phyllis Gutiérrez Kenney
(D-Seattle), chairwoman of the House Committee on Community &
Economic Development & Trade and dedicated advocate for the Hispanic
community in Seattle, was honored by the Women of Color Empowered
Committee last Friday for her commitment to helping local
communities of color.
“It is an honor to work toward a more promising future for our
communities of color and to inspire other women to do the same,” Kenney
said. “I’m truly thankful for those who continue to support me in the work
that I do. My political achievements are merely a reflection of the
continued collaboration among our diverse communities.”
For more than
a decade, Kenney has served as a leader for women in politics and has worked
to motivate others to venture into the male-dominated political realm.
