Ammie AkinGUEST
We need Democrats up and down the ballot.
Ami AkinGUEST
We need a Democrat in the White House," and all of these different things.
Ami AkinGUEST
Well, you know what else? Six of the eight years that the Obamas were in the White House, Terri Sewell was in that congressional seat.
Ami AkinGUEST
So she had access to the Oval Office and the President of the United States.
Ami AkinGUEST
Their record, their friendship goes way back to the college days.
Allison SinclairHOST
Y'all have some special things that need to be taken care of.
Allison SinclairHOST
The roads is something that the federal government can do something about, but they seem to kinda slow walk it.
Allison SinclairHOST
Is that a Terri Sewell thing because she's just up living her life in DC doing the great things, except she's not pushing her relationships and these officials to get it done in District 7? That's the problem?
Ami AkinGUEST
Yeah, that's the problem.

That so many members of Congress refused to take part in their one annual public event counted as yet another first of the Trump era.
EvelynNARRATOR
I went because I'm an institutionalist, Representative Terry Sewell, an eight-term Democrat from Alabama, later told me.

EvelynNARRATOR
that's the reason why i did it but it's increasingly harder to stomach to be honest the republican members for their part dutifully issued statements praising trump's address late last night president trump highlighted the wins of his administration and the Republican-led Congress for the American People, began the news release of Representative Dave Joyce, a seven-term congressman from Ohio and an appropriations subcommittee chairman.
EvelynNARRATOR
But Joyce offered a more somber assessment a few months later when I asked him if he felt that Congress had assumed an overly submissive posture toward Trump.
Louis R. AvalloneHOST
Well, they're putting plans in motion right now for the next Congress, which they believe they will be in control of.
Louis R. AvalloneHOST
And Americans, we should all take those plans very seriously because this is a working group of House Democrats led by Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Terry Sewell, and, uh, they have sent Hakeem Jeffries a collection of healthcare proposals for potential Democratic majority rule.
Stephen ParrHOST
Okay.
Louis R. AvalloneHOST
And in that, Medicare for All.
Allison SinclairHOST
Smitherman?
JPHOST
Well, the federal representative is Terry Sewell.

But, uh-
Allison SinclairHOST
Okay.
