Since coming to Congress, my office has focused on forging closer connections between the jobs that we are developing in our region and the people who live here. I have been proud to support a number of workforce training programs that…

I thank my colleague from the Rules Committee for yielding. Madam Speaker, I rise in strong support of today's rule. The America COMPETES Act is a bold and important bill that would help make our economy more competitive, more dynamic, and…

I introduced Elijah Cummings' PREP Act, legislation that would ensure that incarcerated individuals receive educational opportunities.

It is with great sadness that I rise today to pay tribute to the life and legacy of a very respected member of our beloved Bucks County community, Eileen Reed. Born in Macon, Georgia, as an Army child, Eileen often relocated before…

I thank the gentleman for leading the Special Order. Madam Speaker, President Biden is devastating Pennsylvania families. One year into Joe Biden's Presidency, Pennsylvania voters are concerned about the highest inflation in over 39 years…

I thank my colleagues from the Freedom Caucus for coming and talking about what is happening on the border. I know that the left and the majority party in this House refuse to do it, certainly the President refuses to do it, but we don't…

The Secretary knows it and the Secretary just went to the border and talked to Border Patrol. What did they tell him?

No apology. What about for lying to the American people and creating this division. Didn't our Chief Executive run and say that he was going to unite the country? Didn't he say that? He was going to unite the country. Isn't this an…

I thank the gentleman, and so well said. Look, we all want to help. All of us want to help. We earned this position to speak on behalf of our constituents in our home districts. We all want to help; America is the most generous country on…

Ladies and gentlemen, yesterday, the House Freedom Caucus held an offsite unsanctioned hearing on our circumstances at the border. Now, we did that because we can't have a hearing right here in the Capitol. It is not allowed. The majority…

I thank my good friend and colleague, the gentleman from Florida for yielding. Madam Speaker, we have far too many domestic and international crises facing us right now to name them here. From the southern border to Ukraine, Afghanistan to…

This bill really is a plethora of new government programs that will not advance the U.S. economy. Madam Speaker, this bill will likely get the vote of China, but would not get the vote of American small business. The CCP is very serious…

I thank my very good friend from Louisiana for his leadership. Madam Speaker, the Biden administration has created a crisis at our southern border. And instead of addressing the problem, they are empowering it. The administration has been…
