I want to thank Congresswoman Robin Kelly, a leader on the issue of gun violence and for introducing H.R. 1114.

I want to thank Congresswoman Robin Kelly for introducing H.R. 1114, legislation that requires the U.S. Surgeon General to provide an annual report to Congress on the public health impacts and the costs of gun violence in America.

I am proud that the House voted to provide $50 million for gun violence research at the CDC and the NIH, and the Senate needs to do the same.
