Representative Analilia Mejia on what lawmaking looks like now with a Democratic majority in Congress

The next class of Congress will usher in a large wave of Democratic socialists and other left-leaning progressives. They include many from this area, like incoming lawmakers Darializa Avila Chevalier and Claire Valdez of New York.

Progressive Congressmember Analilia Mejia (NJ-11), representing parts of northern New Jersey, including communities in Morris, Essex and Passaic counties, was elected back into the House. She joined WNYC host Michael Hill to discuss what lawmaking will look like now with a majority in Congress.
