It was great to celebrate the hard work and accomplishments of our outstanding DC fall interns today. Many years ago, I began my career in public service as an intern—it is a valuable and rewarding experience. I know these talented students will go on to do extraordinary things!

As Frederick Douglass said, "The life of a nation is secure only when the nation is honest, truthful, and virtuous." My priority is bringing those values back to our government.

My focus is on tackling the corruption in Washington, restoring faith, and giving our government back to the people.

Joe Morelle@morelle.house.govNov 30(source)
