To the editor:
Thank you to the voters of the 5th District for your confidence in me! It is the honor of my lifetime to represent you in Congress, and I am eager to continue my work fighting for policies that will strengthen our families and our economy like making child care more affordable, protecting Social Security and Medicare, and ensuring equal pay for equal work.
Tonight was a historic victory for the Commonwealth and our nation. By electing a Democratic majority to the House, we have chosen compassion and common sense over policies that are motivated by callousness, fear, and division. We have elected the most diverse class of new members of Congress in our nation’s history and in doing so, have acknowledged that we are stronger as a country when Congress reflects the American people. I am thrilled to welcome Ayanna Pressley and Lori Trahan to the Massachusetts delegation, and for the first time in our history we will have a record number of women representing the Commonwealth in Washington, D.C.
Together, we will enact policies that will create opportunity and security for everyone. Democrats are ready to fight for you. Now, let’s get to work!
Sincerely,
Katherine Clark
D-MA (5th District), U.S. House of Representatives
