Democratic Freshman U.S. Rep. Laura Gillen (NY-4) has assumed her newest position in the House after flipping the seat in November, and she said she’s hitting the ground running to take bipartisan action to deliver to the needs of her constituents and the American people.
“There’s so much more that unites us than divides,” Gillen said. “…But I think if we focus on the things that unite us – everybody wants to be able to have a safe place to live, everybody wants to have access to health care, everybody wants access to education, to a good job, and they want that for their kids – and if we can focus on those things that make people’s lives better, then we should have more cooperation here.”
