I stand here today, closing out my time in Congress, and I am reminded of the gravity of this place, the storied history of the Senate, one in which we are all honored to contribute, and the guardrails that serve as the foundation of this…

I am glad we agreed finally on the second thing, and that is we are going around in circles. I want to make a couple quick points as I round the barn one more time. The most CRAs done in a year was in the 115th Congress. Mr. Speaker, 17…

Here we go, Mr. Speaker. We are going to walk around the barn one more time. Let's go around that barn just one more time and say the same thing again. My colleague and I are obviously diametrically opposed. He thinks that if this bill…

today I wish to congratulate Stephen Roe Lewis, Governor of the Gila River Indian Community in Arizona, for being named one of TIME Magazine's 100 most influential climate leaders in 2024. Governor Lewis is the longest serving Governor of…

Let's just address the previous speaker first of all. We already have a 60-day legislative lookback in the law. We are not changing that. That is apparently an objection that my colleague had. We already have in the law that a…

this bipartisan bill, H.R. 1607, the pumped hydro storage bill, is about delivering affordable and reliable energy to our growing State by expanding hydropower storage. The way it does that is pretty simple. It clarifies the Bureau of…

I thank Chairman Bost for yielding me time and for his leadership on this bill. Mr. Speaker, once again, I rise today in support for my legislation, the Senator Elizabeth Dole 21st Century Veterans Healthcare and Benefits Improvement Act…

All right, I am going to talk faster. Sorry about that. Oh, the poor people who try to take our words down. It is a punishment, I am sorry. I have some other boards here, so I am just going to try to do two more boards in this 2 minutes…

We have half an hour, so consider that a mercy for everyone who has had to deal with some of these presentations. The original goal tonight was actually to do some things that were a bit more optimistic, some things that we have identified…

For those of us from the Valley of the Sun, the Phoenix, Arizona, area, there is an excitement around us. Our college team, Arizona State University, which was predicted to be last in its first year in the Big 12, has made the college…

I thank Chairman Green for yielding. Mr. Speaker, my great State of Arizona is home to over 450,000 veterans, and nearly 30 percent of those veterans live with a disability. My legislation, H.R. 7365, the Veterans Expedited TSA Screening…

A couple things. First, I committed a sin last week. How many of us have always learned when you do one of these floor speeches, like I did a couple weeks ago--and I never ever ever read the comments, except over Thanksgiving. First, I…

This lady, Mariannette Miller-Meeks, is just an energizer bunny. Every place I go, she is there. I don't even know how she does it. I yield to a friend and fellow Energy and Commerce Committee colleague. I remember we were on a boat…

I thank Representative Gosar for his remarks. It means so much to me. Mr. Speaker, I yield to the gentleman from Arizona (Mr. Stanton), another colleague.

This is kind of overwhelming, but I will yield next to one of my friends and one of the ladies that sits next to me in our women's row over here, my friend and colleague from Illinois (Mrs. Miller).

Serving in the U.S. House of Representatives has been an honor of a lifetime, very surreal. As someone said before, I think my colleague Greg Stanton from Arizona, over 31 years ago, I left an abusive ex-husband, and I had a little…

Thank you very much, Andy. Congressman Biggs, you are a great friend. Thank you so much. We will be working many years together. I am going to keep calling you. Mr. Speaker, I yield to the gentlewoman from Tennessee (Mrs. Harshbarger)…

I remember when Michelle came in, we shared someone that helped us with our campaign, and she said you need to meet Michelle. I met her, and I thought she was great, and I have ever since. Mr. Speaker, I yield to my friend and colleague…
