The Public Record
Annie L. McLane Kuster is an American politician serving as the U.S. Representative for New Hampshire's 2nd congressional district since January 3, 2013.

Mr. Chairman, I thank the gentleman from Tennessee for his kind words. Mr. Chairman, I yield 1 minute to the gentleman from California (Mr. Takano).
