“After productive discussions with Leader Pelosi about the future of our Caucus and its leadership, I will support Nancy Pelosi for Speaker of the House in the 116th Congress.

I thank Nancy for her leadership and look forward to working together to deliver results for America’s hard-working families. I firmly believe that the reforms we have advocated for will create advancement opportunities for the next generation of Democratic leaders and will strengthen our Caucus.”
