“Many times as our Members in the House travel throughout our districts, we are often asked: What is being done in the House? What is being accomplished? Well, this afternoon we are going to take a few minutes and allow you to hear directly from the Members, something that we like to call the People's Night.

As you can see, the House of the 115th Congress has passed 158 pieces of legislation; 158 bills we have sent to the Senate or to the President. The House isn't the only one that has been busy. Our President has been busy. In fact, if you will notice this chart behind, you will notice that we are also at a record pace if you look at the last four, five Presidents.
