President-elect Donald Trump is signaling Congress he is going to make the most of his time in office.
Congressman Ralph Abraham says, "They want things done and they want it in a hurry."
Abraham says the new president will make revamping The Affordable Care Act a priority. Syria and the Middle East are also pressing issues along with the U.S. debt and tax reform.
He says his Democrat colleagues think they can work with a Trump administration. Abraham says, "I have seen a change in their mood in the few weeks since the election."
The Congressman said many on the other side of the aisle are encouraged by some of Trump's cabinet picks and the way he has handled the canceled moving of the Carrier air conditioning plant to Mexico.
Abraham thinks Trump will be good for Louisiana.
Abraham says, "Trump has messaged he wants more oil and gas exploration."
He explained that oil and gas prices will rise in the next year or two and that will help the state's economy.
