America has been enlightened by the gentlewoman's very forthright statement. The voice of New Mexico has been heard here on the House floor, Ms. Michelle Lujan Grisham. I cannot tell you how much I appreciate that message from New Mexico and what it means with the repeal of the Affordable Care Act. Thank you so very much for doing that, a very powerful statement, a very powerful voice on behalf of New Mexicans and Americans. Somewhere between New Mexico and New York lies the State of Ohio, and, Ms. Kaptur, you have represented that State so very well for a few years here. We won't say exactly how many years. But over those years, you have always been the voice for the working men and women of Ohio. Mr. Speaker, I yield to the gentlewoman from Ohio (Ms. Kaptur).
