I really do want to express my gratitude. The people of New Hampshire are very fortunate to have someone that came to Congress like you did. In your first 43 hours, you voted to raise the minimum wage, something that hadn't been done for years of neglect. You voted to make it less expensive for parents of New Hampshire to send their kids to school. You voted for a responsible continuing resolution that increased spending to put cops on the beat in New Hampshire. You have, frankly, in your first several weeks here in the House, done more than your predecessors did for years and years because they were focused on issues like this on the other side. And I want to thank you for your service.
