The sponsor's argument

Why Michelle Hinchey says this is needed

Few couples have left such an enduring mark on American history as Franklin and Eleanor Roosevelt, whose partnership played a role not only in cultivating a community in New York's Hudson Valley, but in shaping the future of our great nation. In her role as first lady, Eleanor was a beloved pioneer in her own right and has long been the paragon of the position since her tenure. A trailblazer for women in politics, she set the standard, being the first to regularly hold press conference, write a daily newspaper column, speak at a national party convention and more. The Roosevelts were fierce allies, and their status as political part- ners was also highlighted by Eleanor being the first lady to be included as part of a presidential memorial. Despite being both personal and political partners, however, according to archivists at the Franklin D. Roosevelt Presidential Library, nothing in the United States is named after both Franklin and Eleanor Roosevelt together. Prior to his election as President of the United States, FDR, a Hyde Park native, served as Governor of New York State. As Governor, FDR led the famous parade opening the Mid-Hudson Bridge, alongside his beloved wife Elea- nor. This legislation would honor the contributions of two of the most influential 20th century Americans and highlight the role that they played in our community and in our country together.

This is the sponsor's own case for the bill, quoted from their memorandum. It is not Agora's description of what the bill does.
