Here’s how each of them responded: **Rand Paul:** Suffragist 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 **Donald Trump:** Rosa Parks **Jeb Bush:** Former British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher **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 **Read Next:**[_Read the Full Text of the Second Republican Debate_](http://time.com/4037239/second-republican-debate-transcript-cnn/ "undefined") [**_Who Should Be the First Woman On a Modern Dollar Bill?_**](http://time.com/money/3060472/first-women-dollar-paper-money-obama/ "undefined") ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4037828/republican-debate-ten-dollar-bill/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4037828/republican-debate-ten-dollar-bill/"},"headline":"Here Are the Women Republican Candidates Would Put on the $10 Bill","datePublished":"2015-09-17T03:32:07.000Z","dateModified":"2026-02-22T11:00:20.543Z","description":"Republican candidates answer which woman they would put on the $10 bill at the CNN Republican debate Wednesday.","url":"https://time.com/4037828/republican-debate-ten-dollar-bill/","keywords":["Debates","2016 Election topic"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt41a85adfa87aa8c0/698863fef887dc4c35e92657/republican-debate3.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Daniel White","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/daniel-white/"}],"articleSection":"Politics","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt41a85adfa87aa8c0/698863fef887dc4c35e92657/republican-debate3.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"Republican U.S. presidential candidates","caption":"Republican U.S. presidential candidates","creditText":"Lucy Nicholson—Reuters","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/section/politics/","name":"Politics"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"/tag/debates/","name":"Debates"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/4037828/republican-debate-ten-dollar-bill/","name":"Here Are the Women Republican Candidates Would Put on the $10 Bill"}}]}] ```
