Background

On New Year’s Day 2012, Ranger Anderson became the first female park ranger killed in the line of duty.  That day, she was establishing a road block when a suspect wanted in connection with a shooting the previous day, opened gunfire on her.  Before she passed away from a fatal gunshot wound, she radioed for help which allowed responding units to take action.  She served with the National Park Service for 11 years and leaves behind her husband and two daughters, ages 4 and 2, in their hometown of Eatonville, Washington.

Summary

H.R. 5788 would designate the facility of the United States Postal Service located at 103 Center Street West in Eatonville, Washington, as the “National Park Ranger Margaret Anderson Post Office.”

House Democratic Caucus Summary

The House Democratic Caucus does not provide summaries of bills.

So, yes, we display the House Republican Conference’s summaries when available even if we do not have a Democratic summary available. That’s because we feel it is better to give you as much information as possible, even if we cannot provide every viewpoint.

We’ll be looking for a source of summaries from the other side in the meanwhile.
