REP LIEU STATEMENT ON BEING RE-ELECTED TO THE U.S. HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
WASHINGTON - Today, Congressman Ted W. Lieu (D – Los Angeles County) issued the following statement after being re-elected to serve California's 36th congressional district in the U.S. House of Representatives for the 118th Congress.
"Today I express my sincerest gratitude to the residents of Los Angeles County who have continued to trust me as their representative in Congress. Serving my constituents in the House of Representatives is the honor of my lifetime. Each day, I am immensely proud to represent our beautiful, vibrant community and I am deeply grateful for the opportunity to carry that honor forward in the 118th Congress. I also want to thank my family for allowing me to serve.
"Democrats are laser-focused on lower costs, safer communities, and better-paying jobs. We are fiercely committed to upholding our democracy, protecting Social Security and Medicare, and creating a brighter and safer future for all Americans. Democrats have and always will put People Over Politics.
"Thankfully, the Republican agenda to criminalize women's health, end Social Security and Medicare, and attack democracy has not been well received. I'm pleased that we are seeing support for stopping the extreme MAGA GOP following the Supreme Court's radical decision overturning Roe v. Wade this summer. From Kentucky to Vermont and Michigan to California, voters have shown their desire to reaffirm and protect critical access to reproductive health care. I'm pleased to see voters rejecting the absurd notion that politicians should be involved in what is a deeply personal decision that should rest with a woman and her doctor."
