While the path forward is hard, I know that President Biden and Vice President Harris will help America build back stronger.

"Today I walked up the Capitol steps to start the 117th Congress. Two years ago we never could have imagined the challenges we would face. Our nation is deeply divided, our politics polarized, the economy is reeling, and thousands of our fellow Americans have died in the pandemic. But I always believe there is hope, because I believe in America.
As the historic 116th Congress comes to a close, Congressman Jason Crow released his Report for the 116th Congress. Below please find key highlights from Congressman Crow's freshman term.
"I cast my vote today to override President Trump's veto thinking about my time as Private Crow when I was on the receiving end of decisions made in Congress. We have a sacred obligation to our men and women in uniform and their families to make sure they have the support they need. This defense bill will give our troops a pay raise, improve military housing, and give the government the resources it needs to respond to the ongoing cyberattacks."
