And still places in the United States of America where someone can be denied a loan because of their gender identity or sexual orientation?

I will continue to prioritize that project and fight for appropriations when it comes to the MILCON budget.

I appreciate all my colleagues' interest today in MILCON projects at Fort Drum.

I think that is important to note for the record.

Many of my colleagues voted against equal pay for equal work, notwithstanding the fact that women are paid approximately 80 percent of what men are paid for doing the same job.

The House Appropriations Committee released a list of vulnerable projects, and that does not include Fort Drum.

It is not fair that whether or not you have rights, not to be discriminated against based on sexual orientation or gender identity cannot depend on the state you live in.

I am very proud that our work culminated in the bipartisan passage of New York's groundbreaking out-of-network consumer protection law.
