“Thank you for allowing us to engage in what we call People's Night 2. The House has been working diligently for the citizens of our districts. We have passed solid legislation that is good for the economy, that protects life, that helps small businesses, veterans, bills that reduce taxes. I would guess that maybe not all of our citizens are even aware that the House has actually passed a balanced budget. In fact, there are over 300 pieces of legislation that have been passed through the House but have been stalled in the Senate. Tonight, we want to highlight some of the legislation, but also, and with all due respect, we are calling on Majority Leader Mitch McConnell to get moving on these bills. I am joined by several colleagues this evening to share why we believe it is time to move on behalf of the American people. Our first Member, colleague and friend, from Pennsylvania, Mr. Ryan Costello. Mr. Costello is a freshman, along with myself, our shortstop on the baseball team, and a strong voice speaking out on those who sometimes cannot speak for themselves, and that is our veterans. We promise that we would go to Congress and work hard for the men and women who depend on us to get the Veterans Administration correct. Mr. Speaker, I yield to the gentleman from Pennsylvania (Mr. Costello).”
