“First, let me thank my colleague and the gentleman from Colorado for his gracious comments, remarks, and leadership. And just know that we are in this together, and we have been in this together for a long, long time. And this is really working for the American people. It is in our blood. We have no option. And you certainly--in the short time you have been here--you certainly have hit the ground running and have shown who you are and whose you are. So thank you, again, so much. And to, of course, our co-chair, Mr. Lieu, let me just say thank you for your clarity of purpose and making sure that--yourself and Mr. Neguse--making sure that the truth is told. And oftentimes, we forget that the truth shall set you free. But I always marvel at you, Congressman Lieu, and Mr. Neguse, especially when you are on the media. You don't pull any punches. You tell the truth; you cut through all the noise. And I think the American people deserve that. Thank you both for that, and thank you for giving us a chance to be with you this evening. Mr. Speaker I rise also with my colleagues to highlight the fact that House Democrats have delivered for the people in the first 200 days of this Congress. House Democrats and the Biden administration have begun building back bolder. We have helped tackle this virus head on by putting shots in people's arms, and money in people's pockets.…”
