Tonight, I am more hopeful than I have been in a long time about the direction of our country. I cannot wait to get to work as part of an historic Democratic majority in Congress, with Hakeem Jeffries as our Speaker — the first time in more than 150 years that a New Yorker has held the gavel!

This historic majority gives us an historic opportunity to turn things around. The moment requires an agenda as big as the challenges we face, and we must deliver.

To Congressman Jerry Nadler, I will never fill your shoes, but I will aim every day to meet the standard you have set. It is the honor of a lifetime to succeed you.

To my amazing family, I love you so, so much! Let’s never stop laughing, even when it’s hard.

And to my neighbors in NY-12, thank you for the faith you have placed in me. I will strive always to vigorously represent both the needs of our district and the values of our extraordinary community.
