At the moment, Congress is controlled by Republicans whose inability earlier this month to elect a Speaker impacted the job we were all elected to do: serve our constituents. Did you know we were initially told to stop doing casework? In my office, we ignored that. But for the brand-new members, not getting their email accounts or offices set up meant they couldn’t even get started.
That was unacceptable. But despite this, I am committed to working with my colleagues across the aisle to deliver for my community. There will undoubtedly be many challenging twists and turns ahead for us, but I am confident that we will face them together.
