I came to Congress to solve problems. But lately, it seems a lot like Congress is the problem. We've got to be able to sit down like adults, work out our differences, and tackle the problems facing our country. There's just no excuse not to.... So I'm proud to join No Labels as a Problem Solver fighting to make Congress work for the American People.

For too long, the truckers who are the backbone of the international trade industry have not received the wages and benefits they deserve. This deal is a huge step forward, and I really hope that ports across the country will recognize the ...important role played by our truckers.
Truckers servicing the port work hard, and they deserve compensation and benefits that reflect that. I’m celebrating a big and long overdue win for these hard working truck drivers and their families today.

As a California state legislator, as a member of Congress, and as Secretary of Labor, Hilda Solis has been a tenacious advocate of working Americans. Her tireless efforts have pulled this country back from the worst unemployment crisis in d...ecades, and I know she will stand as a role model for a generation of young Latina women. I’m sure there are still great things left in Secretary Solis’ future.

- Speaking before the Compton City Council on my biggest priority: jobs!
- This morning, I had the pleasure of joining federal, state, and local leaders for the groundbreaking of the Gerald Desmond Bridge Replacement. It’s projects like this that I’m going to champion on the Transportation and Infrastructure Committee—investments that get people to work today, and give us the transportation and goods movement network we need to compete in the global economy.

My Community Swearing-In CeremonyJanuary 17 at 3:00pm in PSTCongresswoman Juanita Millender- Mcdonald Community Center at Carson Congresswoman Janice Hahn is going- I am proud to be sworn in with the most diverse and representative Congress in our history. The 113th Congress has more women in it than any before, and it is an honor to be a part of that. But above all, it is an honor to be representing t...his district.
There is a lot of strength, a lot of ingenuity, and a lot of entrepreneurship in our district. I’ve represented so many of these communities for over a decade on the Los Angeles City Council, and this feels like coming home. I’m looking forward to fighting for these communities again.
I am going to fight for legislation that will help us create good paying jobs in our communities and empower small businesses to hire and grow. I am going to fight to harness the power of a strong and secure port to open new opportunities for our communities and our businesses. And I am going to fight to end the scourge of gun violence that has plagued our streets since long before the tragedy in Newtown.
We’ve got problems, but we have more possibility, and I am going to spend every day dedicating myself to the hard working people of California’s 44th Congressional District.See More
- It took a lot longer than it should have, but we finally got the compromise we needed to protect hard working families from the fiscal cliff.
This deal will protect middle class families and small businesses climbing out of the recession from being pushed off the fiscal cliff. It extends unemployment benefits, saving millions still struggling to find work from having the rug pulled out from unde...r them. It helps us reduce our deficit by asking the wealthiest to pay their fair share, and preserves our promise to our seniors in Social Security and Medicare.
Now, a compromise means everybody gave up something. I am disappointed that an extension of the payroll tax cut was not in this deal. But the American people wanted compromise, and with Vice President Biden getting in there to close the deal, that's what we did.See More - Tonight, I'm ringing in the New Year at the National Archives commemorating the 150th anniversary of the signing of the Emancipation Proclamation.

- In 11 years, I have not missed a Polar Bear swim on New Year’s Day. But this year, I will be in Washington, working as hard as I can to avert the fiscal cliff that is threatening so many of the hard working Americans I am so proud to repres...ent.
I think a bracing plunge in the ocean is shock enough! The people in my communities shouldn't get shoved over the fiscal cliff too. I'm sorry not to be there, angry that Congress has waited so long to address this issue, but this is the work we were entrusted to do. I just hope we can come together to do it.See More
