- Senator Edward Markey (D-MA)
“Margaret Heckler was a pioneer, ensuring that women could have access to credit in their own name. What she did was historic. And obviously, women in America have benefitted from having credit in their own name since the day that the bill [The Equal Credit Opportunity Act of 1974] was signed.”

- former Congresswoman and Senator Olympia Snowe (R-ME)
"At a time when there were so few women running for Congress, Margaret Heckler became a fighter and a leader on key issues that fundamentally changed the laws reflecting the true roles of women in our society and that still resonates to this day. That is her legacy."

- former Attorney General Edwin Meese III
“A great story of someone who came from humble beginnings and what she accomplished among women.”
"I've always been in touch with my destiny." - The Honorable Margaret Heckler
