“I thank Representative Manning so much for that eloquent presentation, and I just want to thank the gentlewoman for sticking around and believing that someday we would get around to her. Mr. Speaker, I am so delighted to introduce a new Member from California. She has succeeded our former colleague, Karen Bass, who is now the mayor of Los Angeles. When Karen Bass left, she told us: Don't worry, don't bother trying to miss me, because I am sending in the best and the brightest from my community, and she is going to hit the ground running. She certainly has been a great colleague. Mr. Speaker, I yield to the gentlewoman from California (Ms. Kamlager-Dove).”
