Busy Days Ahead

Rep. Mary Jo Kilroy (OH-15th-D) had her first day in the U.S. House of Representatives. Although she might be new in Congress, she is quickly getting to work.

Dispatch:

...Kilroy's new office in Longworth featured bare walls save for a solitary poster of the Ohio Theatre. She spoke about the excitement of becoming a federal lawmaker, especially in a year when the first African-American will be inaugurated as president.

"It's a huge thing," Kilroy said.

Kilroy already has earned a seat on the Financial Services Committee, which has jurisdiction over the banking industry.....

With the country left in such a mess, President Obama, Rep. Kilroy, and every member of Congress will need our prayers and support to get things fixed.
