                    200 DAYS OF WORK FOR THE PEOPLE

  (Ms. KELLY of Illinois asked and was given permission to address the 
House for 1 minute.)
  Ms. KELLY of Illinois. Madam Speaker, today marks the 200th day of 
this Congress and of House Democrats working for the people.
  Working together with the Biden administration, we have put our 
economy back on track, curbed the spread of COVID-19, and put money 
into the pockets of our constituents. It was only Democrats that voted 
for the American Rescue Plan, which helped create 3 million jobs, 
deliver stimulus checks, and extend the child tax credit.
  The American Rescue Plan also delivered on one of my most urgent 
priorities, ending the maternal mortality crisis. Allowing States to 
extend Medicaid coverage for postpartum care from 60 days to one full 
year postpartum will save lives.
  Outside of the recovery package, we have continued working on other 
priorities, like advancing a pathway to citizenship for Dreamers and 
passing commonsense gun violence prevention measures to protect and 
improve the lives of everyday Americans.

  Madam Speaker, in just 200 days, we have accomplished so much, but 
rest assured, we are just getting started.
