January 18, 2007
U.S. Rep. Tubbs Jones was interviewed on C-SPAN's talk show "Q&A" by host Brian Lamb. LAMB: Stephanie Tubbs Jones, what's the difference between being in the minority and now being in the majority? TUBBS JONES: Well, first time in the majority in all my life. It is an opportunity to be on the floor, argue a resolution—and it wins. I'm not being stuck with a motion to recommit and an inability to put in place opportunities. Clearly, this is only two to three weeks, so I'm looking forward to other […]

Remarks on Vice President Kamala Harris - Jan. 20, 2021
January 21, 2021
DIEDRE DEJEAR: It shows women across the board that, it is possible, Kamala Harris did not have a blueprint for where she is right now – but she has created one. When she says, ‘I vow never to be the last, I may be the first of many things, but I won't be the last,’ she means that. She has created a blueprint for women who are interested in investing their time and their energy into our political system. Where women rightfully ought to be. Now Kamala Harris has shown […]

Yeah hi I'm Keli Carender and I decided to go to my representative Norm Dick’s town hall in August of 2009 so that I could tell him face-to-face how I felt about the health care reform bill that was going through Congress.
