Speaker Heastie Statement on Victories in U.S. House of Representatives

Voters across the country today have sent a loud and clear message that they have lost confidence in our federal government's failed Republican leadership. Faced with ever-rising costs of housing, groceries, childcare and utilities, they are fed up that no one is listening. This election has been all about change. Change from the destructive and vindictive policies that have poisoned our democracy. A renewed Democratic slate in the U.S. House of Representatives, led by my friend and former colleague Representative Hakeem Jeffries promises to deliver that change. I would like to tell Americans across the country -- Hakeem and his colleagues are listening. They hear you. Rest assured, they will unify voices in the House to fight against the Trump administration and take measures to do right by our families.
