For those who don't have time to read the full report, here is a brief summation of just a few of the achievements I'm most proud of:

- Securing $336,800,000 in federal funding for critical infrastructure projects, community programs, and government services across our congressional district.
    
- Introducing 31 bills and cosponsoring 557 other pieces of legislation to lower housing costs, strengthen Social Security, boost public safety, catalyze economic development, implement long overdue prison reforms, and more.
    
- Delivering 44,585 responses to constituent inquiries and opinions to relay my stance on everything from combatting corporate prices gouging to protecting investments in essential programs like SNAP, Head Start, and public education.

- Passing my bipartisan Hello Girls Congressional Gold Medal Act to award the highest civilian honor bestowed by Congress to the first American women officially deployed to a combat zone in U.S. history.
 
With the 119th Congress quickly approaching, please know that I will continue advocating for policies that expand opportunity for working families, enhance public safety, and lower costs for folks across Missouri. I believe wholeheartedly that America is strongest when we work together to solve the challenges facing the American people, and I will continue to be a bridge that helps advance bipartisan solutions for our communities in the halls of Congress.
 
I hope you know that my office is always here to help you with the wide array of services provided by the federal government - from Medicare and Social Security to VA benefits, passport renewals, assistance with federal tax returns, and more. If you are ever in need of assistance, please do not hesitate to reach out to my office by calling 816-842-4545 or visiting my website . . .
 
May this new year bring you many blessings and endless joy. Happy New Year!

Sincerely,

Emanuel Cleaver, II
Member of Congress
