A representative used a point of personal privilege on Feb. 5 to recognize Bridget Williams during Black History Month.
The member (gentleman from Jackson County) described Williams as the first Black woman to head the 75-year-old Heavy Constructors Association of Kansas City, noted her roughly eight years with the association and nearly 20 years of advocacy with the Greater Kansas City AFL-CIO, and credited her role in major regional projects including the new Kansas City International Airport terminal.
The remarks framed the recognition as both historic and substantive: the member emphasized Williams leadership in building infrastructure, creating jobs and supporting public works across the region.
No formal action followed; the recognition was made under a point of personal privilege and recorded on the House floor.
