CONSTITUENTS SHOULD BE THE TOP PRIORITY
(Mrs. KIRKPATRICK asked and was given permission to address the House
for 1 minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
Mrs. KIRKPATRICK. Mr. Speaker, our constituents sent us here to
represent them, to be a voice for their families, to fight for their
values, to vote in their best interest. I am here for the residents of
Arizona's Second Congressional District. I am here to work for them.
We must reject the culture of corruption here and put the power back
in the hands of the people we represent. Our government works best when
it is focused on people and American families,

not some special interest group or large corporation.
We can clean up the muddy swamp behaviors by passing H.R. 1. We need
to reduce the role of dark special interest money and to make it easier
to vote. We need to have some accountability here.
I will be voting for H.R. 1 so that our constituents become the top
priority for all of us, not special interest groups.
