“I am honored by the faith Speaker Pelosi and my new colleagues have put in me. The 117th Congress was elected amid a national crisis and is tasked with the solemn responsibility of leading our country into recovery. I take that responsibility seriously, and am grateful for the opportunity to do my part to support this caucus and this Congress as we commit ourselves to the work ahead.”
