Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize a native of Perkasie in Bucks County, Pennsylvania, who is promoting animal welfare through the nonprofit organization he established 4 years ago. Paul Steklenski, an Army veteran and a network…

Madam Speaker, it is with a heavy heart that I rise today to honor the life and memory of Trooper Donald C. Brackett, a dedicated law enforcement professional with the Pennsylvania State Police. Trooper Brackett passed away while on duty…

Madam Speaker, I rise today with enthusiasm and gratitude that exactly 100 years to the day this very body passed the 19th Amendment which guaranteed women the right to vote. This decision was a critical step forward, a major development…

Madam Speaker, exactly 100 years ago today, this House passed the 19th Amendment. On June 4, 1919, the Senate approved it. The women's right to vote began the race to ratification, requiring three-fourths of the 48 States to ratify it…
