SIMI VALLEY, California (The Adobo Chronicles® ) – Last July, Treasury Secretary Jack Lew announced plans for a redesign of the $10 bill, marking the first time in more than a century that a woman will be featured on a U.S. bill. The newly designed $10 bill will be issued by 2020—in time for the 100th anniversary of the 19th amendment (women suffrage).
At last night’s Republican presidential debate, moderators asked the candidates which woman they would put on the $10 bill. Here’s how each of them responded:
Rand Paul: Susan B. Anthony, suffragist
Mike Huckabee: His wife, Janet
Marco Rubio: Civil rights activist Rosa Parks
Ted Cruz: Put Rosa Parks on the $20 bill and keep Alexander Hamilton on the $10
Ben Carson: His mother, Sonya

Jeb Bush: Margaret Thatcher, British prime minister mj
Donald Trump: His daughter, but he’d like her to be on the $100 bill.
Carly Fiorina: “We shouldn’t change the $10 dollar bill or the $20 dollar bill. I think, honestly, it’s a gesture. I don’t think it helps to change our history. What I would think is that we ought to recognize that women are not a special interest group. Women are the majority of this nation, we are half the potential of this nation and this nation will be better off when every woman has the opportunity to live the life she chooses.”
Scott Walker: American Red Cross founder Clara Barton
Chris Christy: First Lady Abigail Adams
John Kasich: Nobel Peace Prize-winner Mother Teresa
