Central Florida voters were in for a special treat yesterday, as Representative Val Demings had the honor of presiding over the U.S. House of Representatives, serving in the role of Speaker Pro Tempore. Rep. Demings is a rising star in the national Democratic Party and has become a force on Capitol Hill on the country’s biggest issues, including impeachment.
“I am grateful every day to the people of the 10th District of Florida,” Congresswoman Demings posted to mark the occasion. “Thank you for trusting me to serve you in Congress at this incredible time in our history.”
