#MadamSpeaker and House Dems passing #HR1 to restore integrity to government and to our elections is what we all worked for last election! 🌊💪

From @repjohnlewis to the stellar Freshman class, House Dems will never stop fighting for our democracy and #ForThePeople!

💥THREAD💥

On the Capitol steps, Rep. @ZoeLofgren exposed the great contrast between #HR1 with a Democratic majority 💥voting rights & ethics #ForThePeople💥and the last Congress, when Republicans rammed thru their #GOPTaxScam👎 – written by big corporate lobbyists – as their #1 priority!

#MadamSpeaker: “I thank all of our freshmen – every single 1 of them – for the message they delivered on the campaign trail & for the determination they have brought to this Congress… Today, we are honoring the people’s trust as we pass our transformative #HR1.”

#ForThePeople

Rep. @KatieHill4CA is thrilled for the chance to make progress #ForThePeople by passing #HR1: “This is a historic moment for each and every one of us. And for my generation, in particular, but especially those that follow all of us. This is when we take our 💥democracy💥 back!”

Rep. @AndyKimNJ is humbled to work #ForThePeople: “I simply would not be standing here as a member of Congress before you if it weren’t for the passion of the people for healing their democracy… The core unit of our democracy is the citizen and not the dollar sign!” 💯🙌 #HR1

Rep. @joshua_harder wants Congress to work #ForThePeople, not special interests who buy access: “I got invited to a dinner with some of my freshman colleagues…Imagine my surprise when the only thing these lobbyists wanted to talk about was what would benefit their clients!” #HR1

Unfazed by the DC cold – no coat needed‼️ – Minnesota's Rep. @deanbphillips was excited and grateful for the opportunity to deliver #ForThePeople by passing #HR1. The happy warrior was then thrilled to turn over the mic to #MadamSpeaker Pelosi! Must Watch! 🤣👍

Rep. @JohnSarbanes: “Millions of Americans across the country have been looking at [DC] & feeling like they’ve been left out & left behind... Too many Americans have faced this challenge where getting to the ballot box...is like running an obstacle course.” #HR1 #ForThePeople

“It is a power grab. A power grab on behalf of the people… This is a fight we’re engaged in. We’re not gonna end it until we win. And we can save a lot of time by the Senate just agreeing to the #ForThePeople agenda!”

– #MadamSpeaker, with advice for the GOP Senate re #HR1🇺🇸😉
