U.S. House of Representatives

Connecticut, for a really small delegation, we’re going to punch well above our weight, and most of that is due to Rosa DeLauro’s likely appropriations chairmanship.

When I get back, and I get the gavel of the Appropriations Committee… I want that gavel!

And tomorrow, we get back to work. We get back to doing the work so that we can right size this government and put a check on this administration.

I just want to say that this cycle was different. It was nastier. The attacks started earlier. They were more personal and there was more at stake. But we just kept working through it.

A complete ban on data centers should be on the table.

If elected, I would impose a one-year moratorium on construction of data centers.

I said, ‘Governor-elect, I only ask that you consider that the people that emerged in our coalition that voted for Gwen Graham and David Jolly tonight, please know that they are not radical, communists, socialists,’ I said. ‘They’re now…

Yes, we have lost this election tonight, but we have not lost the fight in any of us.

Mr. President, I want you to hear from Florida that we are still red.

This might be the shortest speech I’ve given on the campaign trail but it doesn’t need to be long. Tonight we celebrate, tomorrow we work, and over the next four years we’re going to take Florida to a whole new level.

Amendment 1 — a testament to our failed former speaker of the House — is deservedly going down in flames. Good riddance.

Big win on Amendment 3 for Florida homeowners!

We know exactly how we feel. We know exactly what we think. We are standing up. We are fighting back. And it just feels so good to be part of this movement.

We do not care how much money Elon Musk has put into this race. We do not care. We do not care what Elon Musk thinks.

No one from the Lower 48 is going to tell us anything about ourselves or our state.

It won’t be hours. It won’t be days. It will be weeks. It will be weeks. We know this. We know this. This is how it’s always been. This is normal. This is Alaska normal.

My job was to defend this seat and make sure that Democrats could regain control of the House.

I want you all to know that we cannot do this without you, and they’re counting on you not voting.

I say we can’t just keep blaming y’all for not voting. We gotta give you a reason to go vote.

And Montgomery tonight, we made that point loud.

We had the deck stacked against us.

This seat is not for sale. Everyday people doing the quiet, necessary work to build community: that’s how we push back against powerful people who think a seat in Congress is something you can buy.

They wanted this seat back. They thought they could buy it, but they don’t understand how we work here.

It’s clear we’re going to win this race.
