I call upon the Biden Administration to work more closely with our allies and partners to hold the Chinese Communist Party accountable for its abuses.

The ongoing genocide occurring in Xinjiang is as shocking as it is deplorable, and it is wrong.

I fully understand the importance of immigrant-owned businesses in our community and the contributions they make.

I think we all agree that PPP and the EIDL program have helped countless small businesses.

I thank Ranking Member Luetkemeyer for yielding. I rise in strong support of H.R. 1482, the 504 Credit Risk Management Improvement Act of 2021. I am proud to have joined my colleagues, Representatives Angie Craig, Dan Bishop, and Sharice…

There is wide consensus from both parties that we must address the broad deficiencies of our ports, highways, bridges, and roads.

Now more than ever, is very important that any infrastructure legislation that is considered this Congress has input from both sides of the aisle.

The actions taken by the Tatmadaw in overthrowing the democratically elected government and cracking down on peaceful protesters and killing dozens, if not hundreds, of its own people in the streets is deplorable, it is horrific, and it is…

I call on our administration to immediately work with our partners in Asia to form a united multilateral front to pressure the Tatmadaw to step aside and accept the results of this election from last year.

Asian Americans have and continue to make countless contributions to communities across the country.

I thank Ranking Member Luetkemeyer for yielding. I thank Representative Luetkemeyer and Chairwoman Velazquez for their leadership on the Small Business Committee. I look forward to working with all of them to strengthen small businesses…

I thank Ms. Foxx for yielding. I rise today in support of our Nation's workers and businesses. We must find ways to work together to help our economy recover from COVID- 19. However, this bill is not the answer, and it is not even close…
