On Tuesday, Scott Murphy was officially sworn-in as the Congressman for New York's 20th Congressional District on the House floor. Scott is looking forward to getting right to work and helping to solve the current economic crisis.
"I am humbled by the faith and trust the people of New York's 20th Congressional District put in me and I will spend every day working to make their lives better and being their voice in Congress," said Congressman Murphy. "I look forward to rolling up my sleeves in Washington to bring jobs and economic relief back to Upstate New York."
"I have dedicated my career to creating jobs, helping small businesses grow, working with people of all backgrounds and parties to solve complex challenges.
"The challenges we face are some of the greatest we've ever known. These challenges affect Democrats, Republicans, and independents all the same.
"I pledge to work with each and every Member of this House to put our people back to work, to protect the taxpayers of today and tomorrow, to give our kids a 21st century education, and most of all to summon the true spirit of cooperation it'll take to ensure that our best days remain ahead.
"We must never forget that our goals are the same - to create good-paying jobs for our workers, to keep our families healthy and safe, to help our small businesses grow, to build a cleaner energy future, and to harness the talents and innovation of the American people to create a more prosperous future for our nation."
