                          WASHINGTON IS BROKEN

  (Mr. BRINDISI asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. BRINDISI. Mr. Speaker, it is an honor to stand here today as a 
Representative of New York's 22nd Congressional District.
  When I talk to upstate New Yorkers, there is one thing I hear time 
and time again: that Washington is broken.
  We are all tired of Washington's partisanship, and I am here today to 
reiterate my promise to work with anyone who is willing to solve 
problems.
  I will work with Members of both parties to address skyrocketing 
healthcare costs and make sure everyone has access to high-quality, 
affordable care.
  I will work to bring good jobs to upstate New York, strengthen our 
schools, and improve job training programs.
  I will fight to make sure our local farmers have the support they 
need to get a fair price for their goods, succeed financially, and make 
an honest living.
  And I will stand with servicemembers and veterans to ensure they have 
the support and resources they need when wearing our country's uniform 
and when they return home.
  I will fight for everyday people and take on companies that use power 
through monopolies to abuse consumers.
  Above all else, my top priority will be to listen to my constituents, 
to be a voice for upstate New Yorkers.
  I know that, by working together, we can deliver real results for 
hardworking people.
