At this moment in America’s journey, I know hope can feel hard to come by. I know right now it’s hard to see the light at the end of the tunnel. It’s hard to believe that if we work for it, the progress we need will come. But we must never forget that we are the beneficiaries of seemingly impossible change becoming a reality. That’s only true because previous generations persevered despite every reason to give up. But they didn’t: they summoned their hope, they found the light, and they changed the world. As I assume the privilege of serving the state I love in Congress, I pledge my unwavering faith in our continued ability to turn our hope into historic progress – because it has always been in our country’s most significant challenges that we take our biggest steps forward.

Thank you, Delaware! Because of your votes and your values, I am proud to be your next member of Congress. Delaware has sent the message loud and clear that we must be a country that protects reproductive freedom, that guarantees paid leave and affordable child care for all our families, that ensures that housing and health care are available to everyone and that this is a democracy that is big enough for all of us.
