Terri Sewell actually said...

"the preservation of the historic Edmund Pettus Bridge and the Selma riverfront is not only important to the city of Selma, but also this Nation."

"The water infrastructure in these communities is unacceptably outdated, inadequate for extreme weather events we now face."

"I urge the committee to adopt language that streamlines the real estate requirements for replacing lead service lines on private property."

"Not only do the residents of Selma deserve to be protected from flooding, but the Nation deserves to have this historic, significant site protected."
