  CONGRATULATING MS. DIANNA WYNN FOR HER NEW ROLE OF PRESIDENT OF THE 
                         LEAGUE OF WOMEN VOTERS

                                 ______
                                 

                           HON. WILEY NICKEL

                           of north carolina

                    in the house of representatives

                        Tuesday, August 6, 2024

  Mr. NICKEL. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize my constituent Ms. 
Dianna Wynn of Cary who has been elected President of the League of 
Women Voters.
  Through her experience in advocacy and demonstrated dedication to 
democracy, Ms. Wynn has proven herself exceedingly qualified for this 
distinguished role.
  Ms. Wynn has been a longstanding fighter for voting rights. Prior to 
joining the League of Women Voters, she was President of the ACLU of 
North Carolina where she was a strong advocate for fair voting maps in 
North Carolina and an end to partisan gerrymandering.
  She first joined the League of Women Voters in 2013 and served the 
role of president of the Wake County chapter in Raleigh, NC.
  The League of Women Voters, founded in 1920, began with the mission 
to empower women to exercise their newly won right to vote. The 
organization has grown into a political grassroots network that 
promotes voter participation through education and advocacy.
  As President, Ms. Wynn aims to protect voting rights as a core tenant 
of our democracy. I commend her for using her platform to strengthen 
our elections and provide nonpartisan election information to encourage 
greater participation in our elections.
  I am confident that Ms. Wynn will serve the League of Women Voters in 
their efforts to ensure that women's electoral voices are heard and to 
strengthen our democracy.
  Please join me in congratulating Ms. Wynn on this great 
accomplishment. I wish her well in her new role as President of the 
League of Women Voters.
