Jared Huffman

I thank the gentlewoman from New Mexico for yielding, and I thank her for also actually reading the bill. Sometimes the truth matters in these debates. We have to take many things with a grain of salt. We have been lectured about national…

meaningful tribal consultation was nearly non-existent during the Trump administration

I have been in Congress for 12 years, and I have not seen a single time when tribal interests conflicted with oil and gas development, a pipeline, a mining project, a dam, anything else, where my Republican colleagues did not summarily…

Should Native American tribes have a voice? Should they be consulted in wildlife management decisions affecting the gray wolf?

the failure to reconvene the White House Tribal Nations Summit was pointed out in this article

On that I demand the yeas and nays. The yeas and nays were ordered. The SPEAKER pro tempore. This will be a 5-minute vote. The vote was taken by electronic device, and there were--yeas 214, nays 201, not voting 14, as follows: [Roll No…

It seems like across the aisle they are a monolith because the only tribal voices they talk to are the ones that want to develop oil and gas, or want to support a mining project.

With all the progress that we have made under the Biden administration to uphold the government's responsibility to tribal nations, why do we want to reopen the gates to power for people whose hearts are full of xenophobia and lies?

Throughout this Congress, my Republican colleagues have tried at every turn to weaken our bedrock environmental laws. The Endangered Species Act has, of course, been one of their favorites to attack. Once again, Republican leadership has…

I hope my colleagues will join me in voting for the motion to recommit. Mr. Speaker, I urge my colleagues to reject H.R. 764. As we have heard today, this is a bill based on fear, ignorance, and conspiracy theories that condone the…

I have a motion to recommit at the desk. The SPEAKER pro tempore. The Clerk will report the motion to recommit. The Clerk read as follows: Mr. Huffman of California moves to recommit the bill H.R. 764 to the Committee on Natural Resources…

Just a reality check. No one has lost hunting or angling access because of lead ammunition or tackle restrictions. That has not happened, but if this management tool is taken away from fish and wildlife managers, and lead pollution and…

It has to be especially tough, though, to be lectured about tribal consultation from members of this body who, at best, are ambivalent about tribal rights.

how fast the doors of access were closed to tribes

You have been lectured about American national security interests and apparently helping Iran and even Russia by a Member of Congress who just last week voted against aid to Ukraine.

I demand a recorded vote. A recorded vote was ordered. The SPEAKER pro tempore. This is a 5-minute vote. The vote was taken by electronic device, and there were--ayes 209, noes 205, not voting 15, as follows: [Roll No. 169] AYES--209…

The gentlewoman from Colorado brought up Tribes in her opening remarks, and I am glad, because we should be talking about and thinking about Tribes on this subject. Tribes are not interested in scaring people into killing wolves. For many…

Since it has been suggested, erroneously, that the Secretary failed to consult with Alaska Natives, I seek unanimous consent to enter into the record a document outlining DOI's extensive engagement and consultation with North Slope local…

My friends across the aisle have a pretty selective interest in numbers. They seem to want to take a single aggregate number for the wolf population in the United States and legislatively delist that population in a way that contravenes…

I thank my colleague for his eloquence and thoughtfulness, which stands in such contrast to the Kristi Noem school of animal welfare that we see reflected in the legislation before us. Mr. Speaker, I reserve the balance of my time.

I was thrilled to support these crucial investments in electrification in our region to help keep our air clean and our community moving.

True energy independence means producing clean energy for our communities here at home.

National security comes from transitioning away from fossil fuels as quickly as possible.

Instead of yet another hearing on offshore oil and gas, we should be focusing on a different, primarily untapped offshore resource: wind.

I championed this investment long before arriving to Congress and appreciate the work my predecessor, former Transportation Appropriations Subcommittee Chair David Price, did to develop this intercity passenger rail route.
