Hi John — I hope you are doing well.
Because of your support, I have a new title for the first time in years: United States Senator-Elect. And I can’t thank you enough.
Over the last few weeks, while continuing to serve the people of my congressional district in the House, I’ve also participated in a bipartisan Senate orientation.
Here I am with the new Democratic Senators: Lisa Blunt Rochester, Elissa Slotkin, Andy Kim, Ruben Gallego, and Angela Alsobrooks. I campaigned with and for these wonderful people and am lucky to have the opportunity to work with them now in the Senate.
I have been making a determined effort to meet with my new colleagues across the aisle and look for ways we can work together. The Senate operates on unanimous consent for much of its business and you can’t move anything forward without bipartisan support. As I will be in the minority in both houses, this will be all the more essential.
With a new chamber of Congress comes new rules and procedures to learn, new committee assignments, and much more.
Here’s Eve and I in front of my new (temporary) office … in the basement.
Throughout my campaign, I spoke with voters about the need to bring down the cost of housing, child care, food, and medicine — and I am determined to do all I can to make the economy work for everyone.
I’m ready to roll up my sleeves, find people across the aisle, and make sure we deliver for the hard-working people of our state. And, as always, stand up for our democracy and freedoms.
Thank you again for being a part of this campaign.
— Adam
