Jackie Speier: “I thank the gentlewoman for her rousing speech and making the case…”

On the recordOctober 20, 2021

I thank the gentlewoman for her rousing speech and making the case, once again, that women are the backbone of this country. If we build back better in the Build Back Better plan, what we will have is a situation where 2 million more jobs will be created. There will be $24 billion more in take-home pay for women, which will then move through the economy and benefit all of us, as well. It is my great pleasure to introduce one of our newer Members, but one of our feisty new Members. Madam Speaker, I yield to the gentlewoman from Pennsylvania (Ms. Wild).
