               DELIVERING RESULTS TO THE AMERICAN PEOPLE

  (Mrs. DAVIS of California asked and was given permission to address 
the House for 1 minute.)
  Mrs. DAVIS of California. Mr. Speaker, yesterday a reporter asked me 
to comment on whether Speaker Boehner will be able to make his mark in 
the next Congress, with the largest House majority for his party since 
1929. My thoughts: stand and deliver. If the Speaker wants to work, 
there is nothing stopping him. Democrats stand ready to work with him 
to tackle many of the challenges facing American families.
  In many ways, our economy has shown incredible resilience of late. 
GDP and job growth are up, but, unfortunately, many still don't feel 
like things are getting any better. It is long past time that we come 
together and enact policies that will help hardworking families instead 
of pandering to special interests.
  This election saw the worst voter turnout in 72 years because 
Americans didn't think we could get anything done for them. Let's show 
that we can. I hope we will use the remaining weeks in this Congress to 
show that we are capable of delivering results to the American people.
