Mr. Speaker, I yield 1 minute to the gentlewoman from Massachusetts (Ms. Clark), our Assistant Speaker.
Let's just keep fighting, let's keep pushing, and let's keep representing the people that elect us every 2 years.
Let me also just say to my colleagues that I had every intention of being with you today.
In conclusion, our democracy works best when every voter can make their voice heard.
