                   ACCOMPLISHMENTS OF HOUSE DEMOCRATS

  (Ms. GARCIA of Texas asked and was given permission to address the 
House for 1 minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
  Ms. GARCIA of Texas. Mr. Speaker, as we come to the final days of 
this session, I rise to celebrate the remarkable accomplishments House 
Democrats delivered for the American people during the 117th Congress.
  While there are too many wins to mention, I would like to make sure 
everyone knows that we have always put people over politics.
  Democrats will save 13 million Americans an average of $800 a year on 
their health insurance premiums. Democrats helped create a total of 
10.3 million jobs. Democrats lowered the national unemployment rate to 
3.7 percent, which is nearly a 50-year low. Democrats delivered the 
largest 1-year reduction to the Federal deficit in American history, a 
reduction of $1.5 trillion this year alone. Democrats passed many pro-
woman bills--like the Women's Health Protection Act, which protects the 
woman's right to make her own healthcare decisions.
  House Democrats did all this because we always put people over 
politics--we always have, and we always will.
