Yesterday I said goodbye to the House of Representatives after 20 years of service. Thank you to the people of Queens and the Bronx. It’s been the honor of a lifetime to be your voice.

And I hope my colleagues will keep working together to do the same. We may all have different backgrounds, but we’re united by our shared dreams for this country. I believe in the best in America, its people, and its public servants.
