This is not okay. It is -- that conversation is not okay. And I think it's disappointing to the American public when they read the transcript.

I hate bullies. This bill is about bullying children. Children struggle with identity, gender, and otherwise. As a parent of two and a former teacher, I need all adults, including politicians and lawmakers, to help my wife and I protect…

We are all watching the ferocious Palisades, Eaton, Altadena, and Hurst fires expand along California's beautiful Coast. I can recall my many trips there. Surely we all love the Tournament of Roses Parade and the magic of Hollywood. Our…

I stand here today in support of H.R. 28, and I urge the House to pass this bill. There is no reason we should even be having this conversation right now. H.R. 28 is a women's rights bill to protect Title IX, which was constructed to…

As the Biden administration entered its final days in office, I was honored to participate in a joyous White House ceremony where the President signed the Social Security Fairness Act into law. After a gnawing 40-year struggle, Congress…

Today our Nation paid tribute to the life and works of President Jimmy ``James'' Earl Carter here in the Nation's Capital. The ceremony was beautiful, appropriate, uplifting, and hopeful. I had the privilege of serving him during his term…

I rise today to honor my longtime chief of staff, my campaign manager in 2012, and a proud daughter of the Midwest, Sarah Benzing. Sarah grew up in Neola, IA, a town of about 800 people. There were just 36 people in her rural high school…

I rise today to recognize the people in my office who are on the frontlines of our work serving the public: my casework team. Our casework team is the best in the country. They have spent every day working to solve Ohioans' problems and…
