“I thank Representative Congresswoman Kamlager-Dove. Let me just say I knew all of those women from California, and they were California dreams, all of them. I remember when Ambassador Diane Watson became an ambassador, wherever she would take you, she would never ever, ever meet a stranger. She could stay up all night and all day. I don't know where she got the energy from, but she was a people person. When she left, she told us: Don't worry, I am sending you someone great, and she gave us Karen Bass . Just like Karen Bass said: Don't worry, I am sending you someone great, and we got Representative Kamlager-Dove. We are very, very pleased. I am so delighted to introduce our next speaker. I met her when she was a candidate. I knew immediately that she would win her race in Ohio because of her determination and her resolve to do it. She didn't have a lot of people at that time who were saying: Oh, yeah, come on. She didn't have a big fundraising base. But I knew that she was resolute to get here. Already she is speaking up, asking questions, and taking names. Mr. Speaker, this is not the last time you will see Representative Emilia Sykes, so let me be the first to introduce you to her. Mr. Speaker, I yield to the gentlewoman from Ohio (Mrs. Sykes).”
