"During the campaign, her opponent, Linda Chavez, made Mikulski's sexual orientation and her relationship with one of her staffers a central issue of the campaign"
Clear unmistakable liberal bias. Where is the justification for this?

President Johnson had the term " war on poverty" is this a mix up?

I changed her marital status to "none," as the fact that she's never been married isn't central to the templete information. I don't believe she's openly gay, but having "never married" would lead people to that assumption. That, and, other politicans who are single and have this template, are listed as "none", not "single for 17 years," "engaged twice but still single," or "never married." Any objections to "none"?

the current wording in this article is as follows:
compare this with the current wording on the same event over at Linda Chavez
These are very different descriptions of the same events, one says Chavez simply made a misinterpreted statement the other says that she actively and deliberately pursued a particular campaign strategy.

The article has this line: 'She is unmarried and admittedly homosexual'. Is that correct? I put a 'citiation needed' next to it because I am not sure...

Propose adding "after five terms in office" to the fourth paragraph in the lead section for clarity.
Propsed change would then show "On March 2, 2015, Mikulski announced that she would retire at the end of the 114th Congress in 2017 after five (5) terms in office."

The content of this biography does not include mention of how the NASA-funded Space Telescope Science Institute (STScI) in Baltimore has named one of the world’s largest astronomy databases after U.S. Sen. Barbara Mikulski (D-Md.), a long time champion of the Hubble and James Webb space telescopes. Source: [2]
Additionally in 2012 NASA discovered an exploding star which they named "Supernova Mikulski" in honor of Sen. Mikulski, this is not included in this biography either. Source: [3]
Where would be the best place to include these two important elements be included?

Propose adding the "a measure that aims to strengthen the Fair Labor Standards Act's protections against pay inequities based on gender.” Source: [4]
The proposed change, under the section 'Legislation' second paragraph, would result in the opening sentence saying: "On April 1, 2014, Mikulski introduced the Paycheck Fairness Act (S. 2199; 113th Congress)[30] a measure that aims to strengthen the Fair Labor Standards Act's protections against pay inequalities based on gender."

The line "She became the first female Democrat elected to the U.S. Senate in her own right (not appointed or filling a seat of a deceased husband)." is incorrect, so I removed it. After first being appointed to finish her husband's term, Arkansas's Hattie Caraway went on to be elected to a full term in her own right in 1932. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 162.228.58.73 ( talk) 22:23, 26 July 2016 (UTC)

Does anyone care if I add a See also section with a link to Virginia S. Baker, a practically-orphan article that I just created about a woman who is connected to Mikulski as far as being from the same neighborhood in the Baltimore and also Mikulski gave a special tribute about Baker to the Senate after Baker died? People interested in Mikulski being from Baltimore might also be interested in Baker as there is a recreation center named after her and I'm looking for more things to link to her article to un-orphanize it. I'm just gonna go ahead and add it for now and will be happy to discuss here further if anyone has an issue with it. —PermStrump (talk) 02:40, 18 January 2017 (UTC)
Both Paul Sarbanes and Barbara Mikulski served in the Senate for 30 years, Jan 3 1977-Jan 3 2007 and Jan 3 1987 to Jan 3 2017 respectively. So what makes her the longest serving senator in Maryland, longer than Paul by a day? LegioV ( talk) 22:00, 13 March 2021 (UTC)
Why is there no section on her personal life (current) or what she is doing now? She ain’t dead! :) 2601:281:D17E:890:246E:E525:A1EA:1049 ( talk) 13:31, 16 June 2022 (UTC)
