the ESA does not need congressional meddling to work better. What it needs is congressional support.

These bills are an embarrassment and a waste of time.

For Members of this 115th Congress to declare that we should get to decide which species live or die for all time is, quite frankly, arrogant and shameful.

99 percent of listed species have continued to survive, and 90 percent are on schedule to meet their recovery goals.

If an emergency room doctor saved 99 percent of the critical patients that came through the door... that doctor would receive universal praise.

We appreciate your efforts and our efforts to return power to the states and people.

This despicable activity may become commonplace across the United States.

I remain committed to finding common-sense solutions to actually move this forward in a real bipartisan action

the only path toward Republicans and Democrats coming together in this Committee to stop the political posturing

I see the Endangered Species Act akin to a government program like Medicaid that promotes health care to the most vulnerable amongst us.

It is indeed a great pleasure to welcome a new member on our side of the aisle, Representative Jimmy Gomez.
