Even with the difficulties of the health care Web site, we are seeing great things coming out of this Affordable Care Act. Across the country, millions of people who lacked affordable health care options yesterday are checking out their…

The Public Record
Following one of the worst natural disasters to hit landfall, we stand as a world community in support of the people of the Philippines. Last week, Typhoon Yolanda tore through the Philippines, tragically taking thousands of lives and…
California knows how to do things right. We have already had 59,000 enrollees in Covered California.
The Affordable Care Act introduced many substantial changes to health care, and these reforms will improve access to and adequacy of coverage.
The Affordable Care Act is more than a Web site; it is affordable, quality health insurance made available to everyone. While my friends on the other side of the aisle like to keep talking about bad stories, there are some good stories…
sequestration certainly has had a drastic impact on all of our Government agencies, and smaller agencies are much more sensitive to any funding reductions since, really, every dollar counts.
It seems easy around here sometimes to defund agencies like yours, because, frankly, I think a lot of folks aren't exactly clear on what FMC's mission really is as opposed to, for instance, the Coast Guard.
Today marks the 15th day of the government shutdown. I am finally encouraged that we are seeing a bipartisan agreement in our Senate that will reopen the government and avert a credit default. There is a lot of bashing of both sides going…
In fact, it is questionable how effective any other recommendation will be without addressing this issue.
Chairman Shuster and Ranking Member Rahall both said that when it comes down to finding ways to finance our Nation's transportation system, all options need to be considered.
According to a recent report, nearly 64 percent of our roads in Los Angeles County are listed in poor condition and costing our drivers $832 a year, well over the national average of $377.
Today we find our Nation in the midst of a government shutdown and in the shadows of a debt default. A week into the shutdown, the partisan gridlock in Congress is as bad as ever; but across the country, millions of Americans are finding…
Here we are on day 4 of a government shutdown that should never have happened. I'm deeply disappointed that my Republican colleagues have decided that their obsession with repealing the Affordable Care Act is more important than the rest…
Today is a sad and shameful day for our Nation. For the first time in 17 years, our government has been forced into a shutdown. This morning, many of our veterans, seniors, and over 800,000 hardworking government workers, including as many…
Once again, the clock is ticking. And with another deadline looming before Congress, Republicans are bullying this Nation with the threat of a government shutdown unless we get rid of the Affordable Care Act. The Republicans have tried…
I am pleased with the recent diplomatic proposal to address this terrible crisis in Syria. Peace takes courage, and I am proud we have a President who is willing to embrace this diplomatic option. The proposals by Russia and Syria have…
it is imperative that the FMC update existing regulations so that they can adequately address the concerns of the current market.
As we see ObamaCare go into effect, we see that it is making affordable health insurance a reality for hardworking families. Thanks to ObamaCare, 360,000 small businesses have the right to receive tax credits to help with the cost of…
I represent the Port of Los Angeles, America's port, but I also believe that the First Amendment rights of our port and maritime workers must be respected.
So we are 13 years into the 21st century and yet we are only just beginning to develop the streamlined and modern government that the American people expect and deserve from the nation that invented the Internet.
I always feel like raising the gas tax is also inappropriate--you know, affects low-income folks, and would like to really find a way that it could be more fair on who is using our highways.
I am really always proud of the voters in particularly L.A. County, who always seem to agree to tax themselves to fund transportation programs.
I do continue to think that we need to look outside of the gas-tax box, as we go forward, to fund the Highway Trust Fund.
The Affordable Care Act began delivering important benefits and protections to millions of American families and small businesses almost immediately after it was signed into law 3 years ago. Just yesterday, we learned that the cost of…
I'm disappointed that, once again, we're shortchanging American ports, businesses, and consumers by failing to fully utilize the receipts and surplus of the Harbor Maintenance Trust Fund on our ports. When our ports aren't well maintained…
