                IN HONOR OF SENATOR MARTHA FULLER CLARK

                    in the house of representatives

                      Wednesday, December 2, 2020

  Mr. PAPPAS. Madam Speaker, I rise today to honor State Senator Martha 
Fuller Clark, who is retiring from public service after three decades 
of service to the people of New Hampshire. She has been a fierce 
advocate for the Seacoast, first serving as a State Representative for 
12 years before serving as a State Senator for 12 years.
  During our time serving in the state Legislature together, I saw 
firsthand Senator Fuller Clark's passion, grace, and civility. She is 
unflaggingly committed to the ideals of public service, always bringing 
the voices and experiences of those she represents with her to inform 
her work in Concord. Senator Fuller

Clark has also served as a mentor to so many women in public service, 
both in New Hampshire politics and across the nation through her 
involvement with the Democratic National Committee.
  Throughout her career, Senator Fuller Clark has been a champion for 
women's rights and equality, always standing up to advocate for 
reproductive rights and to make all workplaces, including New 
Hampshire's State House, more accommodating and welcoming. In addition, 
Senator Fuller Clark has been a leader on energy and environmental 
issues, putting forth ambitious and durable approaches to put our state 
on a pathway to a low-carbon future. She has been a stalwart supporter 
of the arts and historic preservation, and I know her commitment to 
these issues will continue through her involvement with Strawbery Banke 
and the National Trust for Historic Preservation.
  While Senator Fuller Clark may be stepping away from elected office, 
I know she will continue to serve our community in many ways. On behalf 
of my constituents in New Hampshire's First Congressional District, I 
thank Senator Fuller Clark and her family for their decades of 
dedication to our state. The Granite State is a better place because of 
the public service of Senator Martha Fuller Clark.
