Press Releases

Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi announced she has appointed Congressman Dan Kildee of Michigan and Congresswoman Suzan DelBene of Washington to the President’s Export Council, the principal national advisory committee on international trade.

“It is time for us to modernize our workplaces to better reflect and support the needs of hard working families. Today, the President has taken a bold step forward to help bring the American workplace into the 21st century."

"In a time of heightened awareness of the seriousness of the work of the intelligence community in protecting our security and maintaining our values as a country, these Members will bring integrity, ability and leadership to the intelligence committee."

“The American people expect – and deserve – a government that works for them. Yet, mere days into the new Congress, House Republicans have not put forth a single bill that advances the interests of the middle class."

“I’m very pleased today that we will be announcing the formation of a very important committee – the House Democratic Policy and Communications Committee, chaired by Steve Israel."

“In this new Congress, we have a fresh opportunity to ensure that House Democrats are effectively communicating our commitment to standing up for wages and workers in America."

Why don’t we live up to our responsibilities in a bipartisan way here to protect and defend the American people, to live up to the character of our country which is a nation of immigrants?

“It is outrageous that Republicans would threaten our national security to advance radical anti-immigrant measures that will damage our economy.”
