Political Quotes

“Madam Speaker, I rise today because at a time when Americans across the country are facing urgent needs, Republicans are choosing to spend the first week of Congress attacking women's reproductive healthcare. This week, we should be advancing legislation to fight inflation and lower everyday costs for families who are struggling to make ends meet. We should be passing measures to improve our education system and address our dire workforce shortages. Instead, Republicans are doubling-down on their assault on women's reproductive freedom, even though the vast majority of Americans believe that women should have the right to choose. I came to Congress to make a meaningful difference in people's lives and fight against extremism just like this. The people of Colorado's Seventh Congressional District sent me here to ensure these personal decisions are kept between women, their doctors, and their families, not Members of Congress. Just like I did in the State senate, I will not stop fighting until all Americans have control over their own bodies, their own healthcare decisions, and their own lives. ____________________”
