In other words, we can make communities healthier, and simultaneously establish good-paying jobs.

It is for this reason that I am serving as the Democratic lead sponsor on the Carbon Capture and Utilization Parity Act this Congress.

As we work to create a more equitable economy emerging from the pandemic, we must look to addressing climate change within our tax jurisdiction.

I am proud that the Biden Administration has taken decisive action.

In order for us to truly address the People's Republic of China's harmful tax, I mean trade policies, we need more than rhetoric. We need action.

Ensuring our trade initiatives do not exploit workers globally and ensuring U.S. workers benefit from our country's trade initiatives must be at the forefront of policymakers' decisions.

If we want to compete against China, it makes sense for us to provide robust job training benefits to workers negatively impacted by Chinese trade.

This includes passing legislation like the Leveling the Playing Field Act 2.0, introduced last Congress by Representative Sewell and Bill Johnson.

I think that anytime a voter, a legitimate voter finds it harder, more difficult to vote, is not given access to vote, it is a bad thing.

I am very concerned that President Lopez Obrador is seriously threatening the progress and good will that has been established since the implementation of the USMCA.

I was a supporter of the Section 232 Steel Tariff, because I know that China and other bad actors overseas are actually dumping steel on the global market in an effort to kill the U.S. steel industry.

It is an acknowledgment that diversity is truly the strength in America.

You have to see it to believe it.

Equality is giving everyone the same opportunity. Equity? Equity is acknowledging that not everybody starts at the same place.

I want to join Representative Tenney in applauding President Biden's proposed budget for including a permanent extension of New Market Tax Credits.

It is my belief that our federal budget must present opportunities for all Americans to achieve economic prosperity.

Obviously, I think that my bill, the Voting Rights Advancement Act, named after John Lewis, is the right vehicle to do that.

I look forward to working with you, Chair Lee, in not only addressing violence at the polls, voter intimidation...

I think it's important to note that there is no federal oversight of states.

The Supreme Court continues to dismantle the Voting Rights Act of 1965.

It does not make their barriers fair, and it certainly does not justify or validate their existence.

We should applaud increases in voter turnout, not respond to them with new restrictions to voting.

Providing oversight over federal election administration and ensuring every American has free and equitable access to the ballot is vital to our democracy.

The violent struggle for voting rights and equal access to the ballot box is not one of a distant past.

I have a bill called the Leveling the Playing Field Act which would counter the PRC's cross-border subsidies and other anti-free-market economic tools.
