On Martin Luther King Day, we reflect on the principles of equality, justice, peace, and service.

My heartfelt congratulations go out to the newly inaugurated members of the 23rd Northern Marianas Commonwealth Legislature. While I was not able to attend the inaugural events, I wrote to the members of the CNMI House of Representatives and Senate to express my gratitude for their dedication to serving our community. In my letters I extended my interest in working alongside them and the Committees on Federal Relations to ensure the voices of the people of the CNMI and their elected representatives are well-represented in Washington, D.C.

While not unprecedented, it is unique for a freshman member of Congress to serve in three House Committees. It is an honor to serve on the House Small Business Committee, where I will advocate for the small businesses that drive our economy. This committee oversees the Small Business Administration (SBA) and its programs, including access to financial assistance and federal contracting opportunities. Additionally, I will serve on the Subcommittees on Economic Growth, Tax, and Capital Access; and Contracting and Infrastructure, respectively.
