The Honorable Tammy Baldwin (Smith College '84), U.S. House of Representatives (2nd Congressional District, Wisconsin)

"We have solved insoluble problems in this country before. I ask you to use your abundant talents to help us do it again. Whether you focus on climate change, social injustice or some other challenge, I hope that you will find your own barriers to push, your own difference to make, your own conventions to topple. Don't be discouraged. Have faith in progress even when you cannot see it. Be the kind of leaders who inspire this faith in others."
