Congresswoman Marcia Fudge

By Karina

Today, Congresswoman Marcia Fudge was sworn in on the House floor to fill the 11th district seat of Ohio vacated by the passing of Congresswoman Stephanie Tubbs Jones:

“I look forward to working with you, because there is much work to be done, and I am certainly up to the task. I am a person that you can count on, I will work hard, because I know what my job is. My job is to serve the people who put me here. I know that my job is to do the most for those who have the least. I will work hard, because I have promises to keep. I have made promises not only to myself and the people of the eleventh district, but to my departed friend. Count on me, because I do have promises to keep.”
