Madam Speaker: The First 100 Days

Today marks 100 days since the start of the 116th Congress — and the beginning of our transformative Democratic Majority along with it. From passing the boldest set of democracy and ethics reforms in a generation to introducing legislation to make more affordable health care available to 13 million Americans, Speaker Pelosi and House Democrats have worked every single day to uphold their promise of making progress For The People.

Here are our favorite photos of the first 100 days of our new Democratic Majority:

“The first time I called for help, the officer who arrived told me that if I called for protection again, my children would be taken away from me… That is what this legislation is about. It’s about making sure when men and women and children around this country call for help, those that arrive on the scene know what to do and are willing to do it.” Rep. Katie Porter hugging Rep.
