Mayor Domenic J. Sarno states, “As we mark and celebrate the 100th Anniversary of the certification of the 19th Amendment to the Constitution which secured women’s right to vote – Simply put – ‘Women’s power, intellect, and compassion shines through day in and day out’ – Thank you! Good health, continued success and God Bless.”
The Nineteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution was certified on August 26, 1920. It prohibits the states and the federal government from denying the right to vote to citizens based on sex and was part of the women’s suffrage movement across the country.
