    I am pleased that we could work in a bipartisan fashion to pass a $9.7 billion Sandy Relief Bill today to temporarily increase the borrowing authority for the National Flood Insurance Program. As a result, this bill will begin to assist some of the survivors of this horrible storm to rebuild their lives. Of course, this bill is not the comprehensive relief bill Sandy survivors need but it is a start.

    Today, I was sworn in as a Member of the 113th Congress, officially marking my twelfth term. I am honored and privileged to serve the people of California's 43rd District (previously 35th) in the United States Congress. I look forward to an exciting and productive 113th Congress that will bring a better quality of life for all in California and Americans nationwide.

    As we open the 113th Congress, I am thoroughly disappointed at the 112th Congress' inability to reauthorize the Violence Against Women Act (VAWA). The House Republican leadership has isolated victims of domestic and sexual violence, through its refusal to take up and pass the Senate's bipartisan and inclusive VAWA bill. It's time to put the right-winged partisan politics aside and reauthorize the Violence Against Women Act.

    I was thrilled to stand with the House Democratic women of the 113th Congress this morning. This is the largest number of women ever in a party Caucus in the U.S. Congress.

    Late last night, the House passed legislation to avert the fiscal cliff. I am pleased that we were able to reach an agreement that prevents tax hikes from rising on middle class families and ensures that the wealthy will pay their fair share to reduce the deficit. While this agreement is not perfect, it is a step in the right direction to protect families and grow the economy.

    The clock is ticking. I'm ready to prevent a tax hike on middle class families. It's time for House GOP leaders to stop the stonewalling and call the House back into session.

    Today, 43 of my colleagues joined me in sending a letter to the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force expressing our support for the task force's draft recommendation to expand HIV screening. The task force recommends that everyone ages 15 to 65 should be screened for HIV infection regardless of their risk for contracting the virus. Click the link to read the letter in full.

    Today on the House Floor, Democrats are urging House Republicans to allow the House to vote on extending tax cuts for middle class families and small businesses. Click “like” if you believe Republicans should do the right thing and protect the middle class while fiscal cliff negotiations continue.
