Pogue has served in a wide array of organizations, including The Cleveland Foundation, University Hospitals Health System, the Greater Roundtable, Cleveland Institute of Music, Cleveland Bicentennial Commission (Co-chair), and the 1989…

I rise today to honor Richard W. Pogue for his outstanding dedication and contribution to public service in Greater Cleveland.

The National Spelling Bee is a wonderful program that motivates students to focus on the fundamentals of their education.

I would ask my fellow colleagues to join me in honoring young Daniel for his accomplishment and wishing him luck in his future endeavors.

It is a remarkable achievement for this young man to receive such an honor and to represent his school at the national level.

Daniel Joslyn is an extraordinary student at North Olmsted Middle School. He is very dedicated to his school work and it shows through this accomplishment.

How many more children will be lost before Congress gets the message?

Mothers and fathers are demanding action to protect the most vulnerable among us, our children, from the onslaught of gun violence that is taking the lives of 13 of them each day.

This amendment would provide law enforcement officials with the same three business days to conduct background checks at gunshows that they are now given when guns are bought in stores.

The American people demand action from this House of Representatives.

The American people are watching. We cannot shy away from our responsibility.

This amendment is not about taking rights away from law abiding citizens. It is about closing a loophole in the law that gives criminals a free pass at gunshows.

Common sense dictates that we, as representatives of the American people, support this measure.

We cannot shy away from our responsibility. We must rise to the occasion and pass meaningful gun safety legislation that will help end the cycle of violence.

I rise today on behalf of the Juneteenth National Museum, located in my home district of Baltimore, Md., and in observance of the National Juneteenth Celebration.

Juneteenth is generally celebrated on June 19, which is considered as the day of emancipation from slavery of African-Americans in Texas.

The Juneteenth Festival has grown to be a vitally important part of not only Baltimore, but African-American culture as well.

I congratulate Juneteenth National Museum on a successful Juneteenth celebration.
