I
just
want
to
thank
all
my
colleagues
who
donated
to
our
capitals
closet
event.
We
had
this
morning
all
the
female
interns
were
able
to
get
a
bunch
of
clothes
and
feel
pretty
and
powerful
as
they
serve
us
here
in
the
legislature.
So
I
just
want
to
say
from
the
bottom
of
my
heart.
Thank
you

for
donating
to
this
event
and
it's
the
third
year
we
had
it
and
I
hope
we
can
continue
to
give
back
to
our
lady
intern.
