Congratulations to the Honorable Kevin McCarthy of California who has been elected Speaker of the House of Representatives.
In this episode, I discuss his long path and how the fifteen votes he needed to secure the Speakership unfolded. You will hear my favorite part of his victory speech and how he says it's time to do the work the people of the United States have asked the 118th Congress to do.
I truly love this episode, as I am starting to find my voice and starting to give you my authentic self.
