November 7, 2020

WASHINGTON, D.C. – Congresswoman Rosa DeLauro (CT-03) issued this statement on the election of Joe Biden and Kamala Harris:

"Today the American people won. Democracy won.

"By showing up in record numbers to vote for Joe Biden and Kamala Harris, Americans sent a clear message that they want leaders that will build a better tomorrow, foster unity, and fight for working families and our most vulnerable. Included in President-Elect Biden's plans are critical pieces of legislation I have been tirelessly working to pass—the Child Tax Credit and equal pay for women among them—that finally see a clear path to becoming the law of the land.

"We have our work cut out for us, and the road to recovery is long, but Biden and Harris have a plan to lead us to a brighter tomorrow. Together, Democrats will deliver on our promises and create a better future for all. Today, we celebrate this historic victory."
