                      PUTTING PEOPLE OVER POLITICS

  (Ms. PLASKETT asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
  Ms. PLASKETT. Madam Speaker, today, I rise to highlight some of the 
historic results my colleagues and I have been able to deliver to the 
American people over the last 2 years. By putting aside political 
agendas and working for the betterment of our communities, we have made 
real change.
  In the 117th Congress, House Democrats fought to pass landmark 
packages to address the disenfranchisement inherently embedded in our 
country.
  We helped ensure more of our people can thrive by passing the 
American Rescue Plan, the bipartisan infrastructure law, the CHIPS and 
Science Act, and the Inflation Reduction Act.
  Still, there is more work to be done. My colleagues and I remain 
committed to putting money back in the pockets of American workers and 
families by addressing inflation, lowering healthcare costs, and 
bolstering domestic manufacturing to create new, good-paying jobs--not 
scaring people, supporting them.
