WASHINGTON DC (January 25, 2019) — Mr. President, I come to the floor today to offer a few reflections in these opening days of the 116th Congress.
On January 3, I was honored to be sworn in as the 91st Senate President pro tem. As many of you may know, I love history. I studied to be a history teacher. And I’ve devoted six decades of my life to public service where maybe I’ve helped make a little history along the way.
