WASHINGTON -- A few hours ago, I was sworn-in to the 117th Congress. This marks the 7th time I have taken the oath of office as a Member of the U.S House of Representatives, but this time is very different.
The virtual and socially distant nature of today's events is an indicator of just how much the coronavirus crisis has reshaped our lives.
The freshman class will be sworn in on January 3rd, 2021 when the First Session of the 117th United States Congress convenes.
DECEMBER 24, 2020 -- Today, as millions of Americans are preparing to celebrate the Christmas holiday, it's clear this one will be unlike any other in modern history. While some of us are separated and quarantined, others are experiencing the profound loss of loved ones, jobs, and the sense of normalcy we once enjoyed. While our year has been filled with uncertainty, I feel comfort in knowing that the meaning of Christmas will never change.
WASHINGTON--Tonight, Congress took an important step towards getting relief to millions of Americans whose lives have been upended by the coronavirus pandemic. The U.S. House of Representatives voted on bipartisan legislation to fund the federal government and deliver emergency aid so desperately needed by individuals, families, and small businesses across the country.
