The Retail Industry Leaders Association (RILA) congratulates Representative Nancy Pelosi in her re-election as Speaker of the House and we look forward to working with every Democratic and Republican leader and all the incoming members of the 117th Congress to tackle the many issues confronting the country. Today is a day to soberly celebrate a new chapter in our democracy, while acknowledging the herculean task that lies ahead this year.
As we have throughout this pandemic, leading retailers are ready to play whatever role we can to keep our customers and employees safe and restore economic prosperity to the communities we serve. We are ready to work with any Member of Congress, of either party, that is equally committed to that cause.
