Ms. DEAN. Madam Speaker, as the summer session comes to a close, and I return home to meet with folks from Cheltenham to Collegeville, Pottstown to Boyertown, and everywhere in between, I am reflecting on what work we have accomplished, work like my fire detectors bill that will prevent tragedies, like the horrific fire we saw in Philadelphia that claimed 12 lives, protecting people in public housing; or my SECURE Notarization Act that will make it easier and faster to notarize documents for families and military personnel abroad.

Democrats are putting people over politics. We passed major protections for abortion, contraception, gay marriage, bills to prevent price gouging and fight inflation, and the CHIPS and Science Act to revitalize American manufacturing.

Next is our reconciliation bill that will deliver the largest investment in American history to tackle climate change, healthcare, drug pricing, and so much more.

Recognizing the humanity of our work, we are putting people over power. We are putting people over politics.
