Rep. Barbara Comstock
Rep. Barbara Comstock (R-VA 10th District) didn’t let a busy schedule on Capitol Hill keep her from attending this year’s STEM Symposium. Just weeks before, Comstock had seen a bill she’d sponsored signed into law by President Trump: The ‘Inspiring the Next Space Pioneers, Innovators, Researchers, and Explorers (INSPIRE) Women Act’ authorizes NASA to encourage young women to study STEM fields and to pursue careers that will further advance America’s space missions. In addition, Comstock makes it a point to visit with Northern Virginia businesses each week that promote STEM efforts.
