I am thankful for all that our firefighters do to keep us safe and am moved to see the city”.
In another tweet that day, Houlahan expressed her gratitude towards a colleague. She remarked, “Thank you @RepDonBacon for speaking out in support of AmeriCorps and partnering with me on bipartisan legislation to stop Elon Musk from gutting the program.”.
Houlahan also addressed a pressing issue concerning the youth and mental health in America. She stated, “FACT: American youth are struggling with mental health. We know this because of Uvalde and similar school shootings that happen every day. We know this because of the pandemic and its consequences. We know this from assassination attempts. It’s exactly why Congress came together”.
