Mr. Speaker, as we come to the final days of this session, I rise to celebrate the remarkable accomplishments House Democrats delivered for the American people during the 117th Congress. While there are too many wins to mention, I would like to make sure everyone knows that we have always put people over politics. Democrats will save 13 million Americans an average of $800 a year on their health insurance premiums. Democrats helped create a total of 10.3 million jobs. Democrats lowered the national unemployment rate to 3.7 percent, which is nearly a 50-year low. Democrats delivered the largest 1-year reduction to the Federal deficit in American history, a reduction of $1.5 trillion this year alone. Democrats passed many pro- woman bills--like the Women's Health Protection Act, which protects the woman's right to make her own healthcare decisions. House Democrats did all this because we always put people over politics--we always have, and we always will. ____________________
