As someone who comes from a coal mining state, I have been a strong supporter of the men and women who provide for their families by working in this industry.

I have great respect for the gentlewoman. I don't think she understands what that language actually means, how it has actually been interpreted by the courts, and how it may be totally misinterpreted against plaintiffs in these types of…

I appreciate what the gentlewoman had to say. I was listening very carefully to her. I think she does have it confused, however, because it does inject an additional burden for employers that is not in the law right now and it does provide…

I would prefer that this committee hold oversight hearings to allow committee members to hear directly from individuals and experts so that we can formulate the best course of action to keep our caregivers safe.

I want to go on record strongly supporting protections for workers in this industry in regard to workplace violence.

Their dedication to caring for the most vulnerable members of our communities is extraordinary.

Protecting the safety of health care and social service workers is not a partisan issue.

I want something that is really going to help women, not something that is really going help lawyers.

If we open the gates to limitless frivolous lawsuits, we do a disservice to genuine victims.

The Paycheck Fairness Act would be a cash cow for lawyers.

The Paycheck Fairness Act is not designed to protect women it is a false promise.

The legislation under discussion today offers no new protections against pay discrimination.

Women deserve equal pay for equal work.

We are here today to talk about the fisheries of America. If the folks on the other side of the aisle want to address the issue that they just referenced, then I am sure they could foreswear taking any corporate contributions, any…

I have listened to the gentlewoman's comments, and she probably is unaware of the fact that we are presently undergoing for the first time in the history of the Department of Defense a full Department-wide audit. We are already getting…

Stop with these political stunts that put our military at risk. Stop with the reckless antics that create uncertainty for families across the country. Stop playing to the resistance base. Stop with the games, and let's get our Federal…

This is a shame. It is a shame that we find ourselves in this position all because Senate Democrats think they can hold the Federal Government hostage until they get their way on immigration issues. There is no way around it. {time} 1645…

The use of continuing resolutions to fund the government, and particularly the use of continuing resolutions to fund the Department of Defense, has got to stop.

Sexual harassment cannot be immunized by the United States Constitution.

I just would point out to the gentleman that the Democrats have highlighted the number of amendments not made in order during the first session of the 115th Congress; however, in the 111th Congress, their majority blocked nearly 3,000…

I am here to tell you that is not true, because I know people who have caught red snapper off the Mississippi Gulf Coast.

This isn't a Democrat versus Republican issue. The Save Local Business Act is about providing certainty for job creators in each and every one of our districts.
