Washington, D.C. - Today, U.S. Rep. Terri Sewell released the following statement as the House and Senate vote to certify the Electoral College results:

“In November, the American people spoke loud and clear – and they chose Joe Biden to be the next president of the United States. Today, I am honored to do my part in certifying the results of the election and officially sending both President-Elect Joe Biden and Vice President-Elect Kamala Harris to the White House.

“To be a daughter of the South and see Georgia elect the Reverend Raphael Warnock and Jon Ossoff to the Senate reminds me why our democracy is so worth fighting for. 

“I will vote against all efforts today to overturn the lawful election of our duly elected President-Elect Joe Biden and Vice President-Elect Kamala Harris. President Trump and his Republican allies are working to subvert the will of the people and the democratic principles enshrined in our Constitution. The American people deserve leaders who honor their oath of office and put their politics aside for the good of our nation.”
