A good example of this is the Kigali Amendment, right? An amendment that has been ratified by 66 countries...

I appreciate your support to the Kigali Amendment and hope you can join many of my colleagues here in the Congress that are urging the Trump administration to agree with the vast majority of the international community that are pushing on…

Thank you, Chairwoman Castor, thank you for holding this important hearing.

Representative Hill, I know that you know my great friend and colleague Abigail Spanberger, who was able to include an amendment as part of H.R. 1 that would prevent foreign interference in U.S. elections.

All of these accomplishments that Representative Hill and I have outlined that this freshman class has accomplished I think demonstrate that the freshman class is continuing to deliver for the people. Nearly 100 days into our…

So as we conclude and head into the next 100 days, I think it is important to stress that we are going to continue to work to lower the cost of healthcare.

I do know that Members of this House would be well familiar with Congressman Chris Pappas, who has introduced bipartisan legislation to increase protections for first responders on the front lines of our Nation's opioid epidemic.

Eighteen freshmen, quite an incredible feat. But I will also say that freshman Members of Congress have had much success legislating. Congressman Max Rose from the great State of New York has had three amendments pass this House, including…

Congresswoman Chrissy Houlahan created a new bipartisan caucus to represent the interests of veterans.

Well, I couldn't agree more, and I want to associate myself with the remarks of Representative Stevens and Representative Hill. We have got an incredible freshman class in this 116th Congress. Not only is it the youngest and most diverse…

Clearly, this freshman class is making townhalls the rule and not the exception. But the freshman class is also taking great care to talk about the issues that really matter to their constituents.

That is right. Congressman Andy Kim from the great State of New Jersey has held more townhalls in the last 3 months than his predecessor did over the last 4 years, and he has responded to over 5,000 letters from constituents--quite a feat.

Well, let me tell you about my friend, Congressman Antonio Delgado, who has held six townhalls over the first in-district work period.

Let me tell you about my friend Congresswoman Angie Craig from the great State of Minnesota, who held a flood briefing to start discussions around different agencies working together in the case of major flooding.

I don't want to brag, but I will. Congressman Jared Golden, from the great State of Maine, is advocating to lower the cots of prescription drugs for his constituents.

I couldn't agree more, Representative Hill. Representative Stevens, what do you think about the freshman class?

I thank the gentlewoman for yielding. I would like to engage in a colloquy of sorts with my fellow colleague in House leadership, a Representative of the freshman class, Representative Hill, and, of course, our co-class president…

Okay. It would be very helpful to have that data because it would be quite informative in terms of the steps that perhaps you all would continue to take or perhaps new steps that might be necessary.

We cannot allow for hate to be normalized in our Nation, and we cannot sit idly by.

On balance--thank you for that answer.

I think of the, you know, recent EPA rollback of the MATS rule. And I think that 100 percent of their livelihoods are in danger because of this.

the administration has continued to propose drastic cuts to climate research funding and to make remarks that are blatantly false.

The IPCC determined that we have 12 years to ensure that the increase in global temperature remains below the threshold.

I see through the prism of being a young father and making sure that she inherits a world that is perhaps better than the one that I inherited.

The conversations we have now, the decisions that we make today will decide the quality of life for the witnesses.
