...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.
