Today, Congresswoman Marcia Fudge was sworn in on the House floor to fill the 11th district seat of Ohio vacated by the passing of Congresswoman Stephanie Tubbs Jones:
“I look forward to working with you, because there is much work to be done, and I am certainly up to the task. I am a person that you can count on, I will work hard, because I know what my job is. My job is to serve the people who put me here. I know that my job is to do the most for those who have the least. I will work hard, because I have promises to keep. I have made promises not only to myself and the people of the eleventh district, but to my departed friend. Count on me, because I do have promises to keep.”
