U.S. Sen. Barbara A. Mikulski (D-Md.) on Thursday (Nov. 15) hosted her traditional, bipartisan Senate Women Power Workshop for the newly elected women senators.

According to her office, “The Workshop is an opportunity for Senator Mikulski and the Senate women to discuss everything from how to set up their offices to getting on the power committees that make them effective advocates for their states, using the Senate rules to achieve their objectives and building coalitions to get things done in the Senate.”

In addition to Senator Mikulski, participants included Senator-Elect Tammy Baldwin (D-Wis.), Senator Maria Cantwell (D-Wash.), Senator Susan M. Collins (R-Maine), Senator Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.), Senator-Elect Deb Fischer (R-Neb.), Senator-Elect Mazie Hirono (D-Hawaii), Senator-Elect Heidi Heitkamp (D-N.D.), Senator Kay Bailey Hutchison (R-Texas), Senator Amy Klobuchar (D-Minn.), Senator Claire McCaskill (D-Mo.), Senator Lisa Murkowski (R-Alaska), Senator Jeanne Shaheen (D-N.H.), Senator Olympia J. Snowe (R-Maine), Senator Debbie Stabenow (D-Mich.) and Senator-Elect Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.).
