I believe that Congress has a responsibility to ensure that our economy and laws work fairly for everyone.

I was absolutely troubled by the fact that this Administration's funding budget for 2019 requests for cutting the Department of Housing and Urban Development's funding by $11 billion.

I am very pleased that the people of the city and the county voted to tax themselves in order to... increase housing.

I am very, very concerned about this situation in Los Angeles.

please, do not eliminate any housing vouchers. We need more.

Some of us have been calling on this committee to turn its attention to homelessness for more than 5 years.

the testimony to us should shock us all, with the 55,188 people experiencing homelessness in the Los Angeles area.

I look forward to hearing Vice Chairman Quarles' testimony today on the Federal Reserve Bank's supervision and enforcement activities.

Vice Chairman Quarles is, in fact, the first person to officially hold this important role that is critical in keeping our financial system safe and sound.

I was encouraged when the Fed took action under then-Chair Janet Yellen and initiated a strong enforcement action against Wells Fargo for its egregious consumer abuses.

I am providing you the same response I provided the Ranking Member.
