As i prepared to take this congressional seat, i want to share with you one overriding sentiment. It is has held true for me in the course of working with six mayors, seven governors and 11 state house speakers. And the everchanging cast of elected officials. The best work that we did, we did it together. N each case, the people won. I understand our differences. I am not naive. But i know that when we put aside those differences, when we listen to each other, we make great strides. The stakes are often high in a democracy. And demands robust debate. , democracy also can demand the fact of the matter is that we must Work Together. I understand that before any party or state, that we are americans first. Democracy demands that we commit to listening to one another. Even on days when we want to shout over each other. Democracy demands we dont win as individuals or as a party. It demands that we win as the people. Im humbled that the voters in the second congressional to this have elect med seat. I pledge to remind myself each day that it belongs to the people. I believe that by keeping this in mind, the people will win. This is really an honor that i say to all of you, and this is the absolute pleasure, ive told people although i may be new to this process, i am not new to working together. As you just heard from doyle and pitts, in the 36 years that i was in the legislature, i worked with everyone. At the edge of the day, i tried to make a difference. I want to come here and do the same thing. Believe me, i want to be on the peoples side. Thank you very much.

I rise tonight sadly in memorial of deputy jack hocktons of motoc county in northeastern california. He was killed in the line of duty while responding to an Early Morning call. When i heard of this tragic killing, i was stunned for many reasons. Part of which modoc county is a very quiet, rural place, about as far as you can go in california and still be in california. It doesnt seem like a place to keep adding to this story of our officers being killed in the line of duty all other this country. All over this country. Deputy hopkins began working with the Sheriffs Office in 2015, previously worked for another department in the county. He was born in livermore, california, named after his grandfather who was the first mayor of Rolling Hills estates. He grew up in montgue with his five siblings with his five siblings. Also he is survived by his parents, lance and carol, his grandmother twila, his wife janet and three children. He attended butte college, my alma mater, in their Law EnforcementAcademy School along with his brother sam he also earned a black belt in karate and won a World Championship title in 2011. Hes honored by hundreds of Law Enforcement and emergency personnel, local residents, and many, many others who recognize the sacrifice and n a procession from alturas to reading and from reading up to his final resting place. What this point out is that our sheriffs and officers in rural areas often patrol hundred os miles alone, the closest backup at time mace be hours away. In lot of times thers working alone. In memory of deputy jack hopkins, we need to do much better as a country in supporting them and stop this rhetoric that is against our officers. God bless him, god bless his fine family.
