                        A VISION FOR OUR NATION

  (Ms. KAMLAGER-DOVE asked and was given permission to address the 
House for 1 minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
  Ms. KAMLAGER-DOVE. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to discuss a vision for 
our Nation that values the well-being of the communities we serve.
  As a new Member of Congress, I have plans for what I want to 
accomplish for the people of California's 37th District which is to 
LEAD, to focus on land, economic justice, art, and democracy.
  Land means finding ways to mitigate the climate crisis to put us on a 
sustainable path for the future. Focusing on economic justice means 
ensuring that marginalized communities can access economic 
opportunities.
  The ``A'' refers to art and education. I will always be an advocate 
for the future of the arts and the unique stories artists tell.
  Lastly, I am laser focused on safeguarding our democracy. The past 
couple of years have taught us it is fragile, vital, and worth fighting 
for.
  My priorities are not the GOP's priorities. So far, the GOP has put 
forward bills attacking our education system, parents, and immigrants, 
as well as plans that would be catastrophic for our environment and 
economy.
  I am committed to my plan for Angelenos and to lead us to this moment 
fiercely hoping we can push toward progress together.
