Holy smokes! Hello! Wow, wow, wow. This room is electric. I know you're not here just to see me, I think there's somebody coming up that you're really excited to see. But do you feel this energy in the room? This is electric. This is exactly what terrifies the radical left and their war machine.

This week marks the 2-year anniversary of the catastrophic Dobbs decision. Two years since six conservative justices toppled Roe v. Wade, since our right to choose was taken from us, and pregnant women and people across the country have had their lives at risk. It's been 2 years since our freedom over our bodies was seized by the most corrupt Supreme Court in American history. And that court itself was appointed by the most corrupt president in American history, Donald Trump. And it is precisely because of Donald Trump and […]

Farewell Address - Dec. 14, 2022
December 14, 2022
Thank you, Mr. Speaker. For the final time, I rise to address this chamber, and I'm leaving here with a heart full of gratitude. When I reflect on the path I've traveled, I still can't believe it's real. A baby girl born in post-war Vietnam to parents facing persecution by the communist government, we fled our homeland by boat and were rescued by American sailors. Our family was given refuge, granted citizenship, and provided opportunity in the United States. My mom and dad worked so hard to make ends meet; […]

Remarks at the 2012 Democratic National Convention - Sep. 5, 2012
September 5, 2012
Many years ago, my grandfather came to this country with nothing. Nothing more than a willingness to work hard. Two generations later, his granddaughter became the first Chinese-American woman elected to Congress in history. And tonight, I address the convention that will reelect Barack Obama the president of the United States. That's the American dream. No one ever said that achieving the American dream was easy, and it wasn't. From the moment my grandfather came here, he faced the discriminatory laws of the time. Laws that stopped Chinese-Americans from becoming […]
