The top Democrat and Republican in the Senate halted floor action for a few minutes to praise Sen. Patty Murray, a Democrat from Washington, after she cast her 10,000 vote, becoming the first woman in US history to vote in the chamber that many times
“Our dear friend, Sen. Patty Murray, reached an amazing milestone: 10,000 votes over the course of her career in the Senate, the first woman senator in American history to do so,” Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer said on the floor to a round of applause from her colleagues.
“1992 was declared the year of the woman, and a number of women were elected to the Senate, but you were the leader of the group, and you’ve had an extraordinarily successful career,” McConnell said, “and I wanted you to know that people on both sides of the aisle admire your service, and congratulations.” Sen. Susan Collins of Maine, who is the top Republican on the powerful Appropriations Committee that Murray chairs, also congratulated her.
