Transcripts For CSPAN House Minority Leader McCarthy Holds News Conference 20240711

Mr. Mccarthy youve heard me talk about the upcoming freshman class. Half of the Incoming Freshman class will be women. Yvette harold is the first republican native American Woman elected to congress. Steve nee bice is the first iranian American Woman elected to congress. This makes me very proud as a republican. And as an american. It shows the party of lincoln is also continuing the legacy of the first black american to serve in congress, Joseph Rainey of south carolina. Rainey was born into slavery and even after gaining his freedom he received little education as a child. He was drafted by the confederacy but escaped and went to bermuda and started a business. After the war he moved back to georgetown, south carolina. With his family in 1867 he became chairman of the countys republican party. Just a few years later he was elected in 1870 and became the first black american in congress. Where he worked tirelessly, fought for civil rights, education, and Economic Opportunity for all.
