It's also a good idea to see that the US keeps its promises to veterans. She opposed the Iraq War and it's important that voters know that doesn't mean that as a dem, she's anti-all-things-military.

Congresswoman Hilda L. Solis

She is the Ranking Member of the Environment and Hazardous Materials Subcommittee and is part of the Energy and Air Quality Subcommittee. Solis is also Democratic Chair of the Congressional Caucus on Women's Issues, Chairwoman of the Congressional Hispanic Caucus' Task Force on Health and a Regional Whip for Southern California. Her priorities include protecting the environment, improving the quality of health care and fighting for the rights of working families.

Congresswoman Solis' hard work and passion to fight for environmental justice is nationally recognized. In August 2000, she was the first woman awarded the John F. Kennedy Profiles in Courage Award for her pioneering work on environmental justice issues in California. Her environmental justice legislation was the first in the nation to become law.

Her district returned her to Congress last November with over 84% of the vote.
