I am going to miss you, too, Congresswoman Lucy McBath. Just look at you and how far you have come in leadership now on that Judiciary Committee and where you are in honor of your son. Just look at what you have done to bring this House together, to focus on the issues of gun violence, working with many, many colleagues. As I listen to you, I am very humbled by what you said, and I am reminded back of the Scripture: Let us not grow weary of doing good. I just want you to stand tall and continue to fight the good fight because the country needs you right here, fighting for life. Thank you very much. God bless you.

She cares about making sure that her constituents have the best constituent services in the country, as the best Representative who we all model our district offices after. Rashida Tlaib.
