In November, the American people elected Democrats to take back the reins of power in the House of Representatives and put it back to work on their behalf. In our first 100 days in the majority, we have begun to deliver on that promise. With a dynamic, diverse and energized freshman class of 63 new members, Democrats are moving ahead with our agenda for the people: Lower health care costs and the price of prescription drugs, increase paychecks by rebuilding the infrastructure of America in a green, modern and job-creating way, and clean up corruption in Washington so that the government works for the public interest, not the special interests.
The new House Democratic Majority was elected to deliver progress For The People: fighting to lower health care costs, reduce prescription drug prices, increase paychecks by rebuilding America, and clean up corruption in Washington and more.
Here's some key numbers for understanding the first 100 Days:
58: Hearings performing oversight of the Trump Administration
More than 25: Hearings focused on health care issues
More than 35: Hearings on infrastructure
35: Number of days before President Trump agreed to reopen the federal government
