I am also pleased that we will be considering Congressman Lynch's Kleptocracy Asset Recovery Rewards Act.

What worked in the Lyndon Johnson era doesn't really work in 2019.

I thank Chairwoman Waters for holding today's hearing on the National Flood Insurance Program.

There is a great need for pragmatic changes.

This provision will give policyholders the freedom to choose the best flood policy insurance option for themselves.

this type of climate data should also be a part of this conversation, should it not?

Do you believe that Congress must address the NFIP's debt? And do you think that it makes good sense for policyholders who may be already suffering from affordability challenges in a cash-strapped program to pay $4 billion just in interest…

For several years now, we have been hearing about all sorts of mismanagement and misconduct with Wells Fargo.

It is probably the only Federal program that consistently comes in under budget with premiums that have remained largely unchanged.
