                     THESE ISSUES AREN'T POLITICAL

  (Ms. GILLEN asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
  Ms. GILLEN. Madam Speaker, it is an honor to speak on the House floor 
today representing New York's Fourth Congressional District, and I am 
ready to get to work to deliver solutions for the issues that matter 
most to Long Island.
  We need to address the cost-of-living crisis, secure our border, and 
give hardworking Long Islanders a middle-class tax cut by reinstating 
the full SALT tax deduction.
  These issues aren't political. The American people are counting on 
all of us to put our differences aside and work together to put money 
back in people's pockets and get things done.
  Madam Speaker, my constituents have been clear. They want problems 
solved and not political extremism on either side.
  I am honored to be their Congresswoman, and I look forward to working 
with anyone from any party who is serious about working productively to 
address the pressing issues that our working families face.
