I want to thank Chairman Royce and the ranking member Engel too for making this a priority for this committee.

Today I rise to remember the life of Jordyn Rivera, who attended the Route 51 festival in Las Vegas on October 1. Jordyn was looking forward to graduating from California State University with her bachelor's degree in healthcare…

During rollcall Vote No. 202 on H.R. 2, I mistakenly recorded my vote as ``no'' when I should have voted ``yes''. Amendment No. 31 Offered by Mr. Banks of Indiana The Acting CHAIR. The unfinished business is the demand for a recorded vote…

I thank the gentleman for yielding. I rise in opposition to this rule and the underlying bill which, much like the Republicans' tax measure, comforts the comfortable and afflicts the afflicted. It will have devastating impacts on SNAP…
