Madam Speaker, I rise today in support of the efforts in Congress to clean up our democracy and deliver power back to the American people.
I never thought I would ever run for Congress.
I never thought I would stand here on the floor of the House of Representatives.
I am here today because I was tired of watching corporations and special interests cutting to the front of the line ahead of the people.
I was tired of watching dark money grow, gerrymandering polarize our politics, and the American people pushed aside.
Now we have a precious chance to fix this and to build the kind of government the American people deserve.
As we make up our minds and cast our votes, I ask us to not think of this as a partisan issue.
I can assure you that the people of my district on both sides believe that the system isn’t working for them.
I call on my colleagues to vote to pass H.R. 1, and deliver the change our constituents demand and deserve.
