NNPA NEWSWIRE — “American voters sent a powerful message last November when they gave Democrats control of the House. I am committed to doing everything in my power to ensure that they never regret putting their faith in us.”
Washington, D.C. – Congresswoman Wilson issued the following statement on the start of the 116th Congress:
“It has truly been both an honor and a privilege to represent District 24 in Congress for four terms, but as I begin my fifth term today, I am particularly excited to be for the first time a member of the majority party. I very much look forward to discovering how much more accessible resources for my district will be and hope there will be many opportunities to cut through red tape and various levels of bureaucracy more easily.
“American voters sent a powerful message last November when they gave Democrats control of the House. I am committed to doing everything in my power to ensure that they never regret putting their faith in us.
“Now that we control the gavel and the agenda, Americans can count on Democrats to fight relentlessly on their behalf on a broad range of issues that impact their daily lives. ‘For the People’ is so much more than a hashtag. It’s a promise.”
