Whip Clark Statement on the 119th Congress

WASHINGTON, D.C. - Democratic Whip Katherine Clark (MA-5) released the following statement:

"House Democrats are committed to building an economy where everyone has a fair shot at success - good pay and secure benefits; affordable housing, health care, and child care; and the guarantee of a hard-earned, dignified retirement.

"We will extend the hand of bipartisanship to any Republican willing to improve the lives of everyday Americans, and we will fight any attempt to drain the wages of working people into the pockets of billionaires. We will use every tool at our disposal to defend Americans' fundamental freedoms, including the right to make health care decisions in consultation with your family, your doctor, and your faith - not with politicians.

"As we prepare for the 119th Congress, we have one mission: protecting America's promise of opportunity and freedom for all."
