4 days ago, on July 4, a young man was murdered just a mile from here in broad daylight on a crowded subway. That young man was Kevin Joseph Sutherland, 24 years old. He was my campaign volunteer, my intern, and my friend. Maybe that is…

I think it is fair to say that the facts demonstrate that Dodd-Frank, far from having a catastrophic effect on the capital markets, actually contributed to the restoration of those markets and something that we consider a key competitive…
I really appreciate this opportunity to reflect after 5 years on the effectiveness of Dodd-Frank.
I am encouraged by what is a robust and substantive bipartisan conversation.
Let me begin by thanking the chairman and ranking member of the Committee on the Judiciary, as well as Chairman Nunes and Ranking Member Schiff of the Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence, for their good, bipartisan work on a bill…
Woman, I would like to thank my friend from California for yielding time and start by saying that I am thrilled to be standing here to urge support for the Protecting Cyber Networks Act. I would like to thank and congratulate Chairman…
I was unable to be present to cast my vote on passage of H.R. 1030--The Secret Science Reform Act. I wish the record to reflect my intentions had I been able to vote. Had I been present for rollcall No. 125, I would have voted ``no.''…
The facts as I have heard them are that the United States has been subject to 16 actions in the investor dispute area, all 16 of which we have won.
I want to ask a question which is related, but tangential, to international policy, specifically with respect to the upcoming potential trade agreements.
I have the privilege of serving on the House Intelligence Committee. And just yesterday, in a hearing entitled ``Worldwide Threats,'' I sat with the Chiefs of our Intelligence Services to learn about those worldwide threats. The meeting…
On February 26, 2015, I was unable to be present for rollcall vote 91, On Question of Consideration of the Resolution, H. Res. 125. Had I been present, I would have voted ``nay.'' I respectfully request that this be noted in today's…
I do suspect that this institution will act because eventually, obviously, the growth in those programs will constrict discretionary spending.
I actually asked your predecessor probably a year ago whether he could point to an industrialized country that had combined a recovery in GDP growth with a decline in the deficit in a more constructive and salubrious way than the United…
With all that we should be doing to help address middle class anxiety, to help the economy along, to help with student debt, to help with the challenges that all of our constituents face, what will we be doing this week? We will be…
Now that you have yielded me time, I can say anything I want. I can offer any idea and I can criticize anything. No police force, not the greatest military in the world can stop me from speaking my mind. This is true not because I am a…
I am a real believer that the creation of the CFPB and the fact that American families will be protected from some of the more predatory and toxic products that have beset them for a long time is a real step forward.
Mr. Frank made the point that simply reasserting Glass-Steagall probably wouldn't do it.
the CFPB is stopping the selling of its toxic mortgages to American families.
the financial markets today are thriving, in many cases, as they never have before.
Like so many of us, I was home last week, listening to my constituents talk and be concerned about dysfunction, and I discovered that there is a great deal of confusion about what dysfunction is. My friend from the other side of the aisle…
