Madam Speaker, I am grateful that we are finally having a discussion on the important issue of healthcare. More than a decade of healthcare conflict has squandered trillions of dollars, driven up our national debt, done relatively little…

Mr. Speaker, I was unavoidably detained. Had I been present, I would have ``nay'' on rollcall No. 120. MEMBERS RECORDED PURSUANT TO HOUSE RESOLUTION 965, 116TH CONGRESS Axne (Raskin) Cardenas (Gomez) DeSaulnier (Matsui) Deutch (Rice (NY))…

We need to hear all voices and find out where the real problems are.

If my colleagues across the aisle were concerned about police reform, I don't think that their colleagues in the Senate would have described Senator Tim Scott's bill as a token bill.

This hearing is about politics and I apologize to you and the rest of the officers in the United States Park Police for having to endure a political attack.

A very thoughtful, bipartisan bill was put out on police reform by Senator Scott and it was essentially laughed at.

I wish that Congress could work on renewing hope in America, on restoring the America that we love.

I look forward to working with my fellow colleagues to develop and pass this important legislation over the next several months.
