“I thank my colleague from Wisconsin, the Republican Dean of the delegation, Congressman Glenn Grothman, for yielding. I will start by expressing my deepest gratitude to my wife of 24 years, Angela, and also to my four boys and my mom and dad. Family is everything to me, and all of you have made this journey so much fun and special. I also thank my constituents for placing their trust in me. It is a privilege to serve you and an honor of a lifetime. Our country faces a lot of difficult challenges: record-high inflation, a border crisis, and increasing crime rates in our neighborhoods, to name only a few. Now is the time to bring some Wisconsin common sense to Washington to lower costs, secure our border, and rein in out-of-control government spending. I ran for Congress to solve America's toughest problems, and I pledge to work with my congressional colleagues to lower prices for northeast Wisconsin's middle-class families, small businesses, and farmers by putting more money back in their pockets. Mr. Speaker, I am excited to get to work. ____________________”
