The Public Record
Lisa Blunt Rochester is an American politician serving as the U.S. Representative for Delaware's at-large congressional district since January 3, 2017. A member of the Democratic Party, she is the first woman and the first person of color to hold this position in Delaware.

Every part of our country is seeing the impacts of climate change, from the devastating wildfires ravaging the West, to the rising sea levels and higher temperatures right here in my home State of Delaware.
To Chairman Scott and the entire Committee on Education and Labor, I thank you for the time and for your hard work. Mr. Speaker, as the former labor secretary from the State of Delaware, I am proud to support the National Apprenticeship…
Like President Biden, however, I want to make sure that treatment isn't just affordable but that it is widely accessible and effective.
I am preparing to introduce or reintroduce my bill, the Coverage for COVID-19 Treatment Act, to guarantee access to COVID-19 treatment with no cost sharing.

Unfortunately, Republican Governors continue to refuse to expand Medicaid in some States, as was mentioned, and the Trump administration has deliberately made attempts to undermine this law.
now is not a time in a pandemic to get rid of the Affordable Care Act, this landmark piece of legislation.
The passage of the Affordable Care Act ushered in a new era for healthcare and expanded coverage to more than 20 million Americans.
As has been said, our Nation is facing a plethora of crises right now, the COVID-19 pandemic, all-time high unemployment numbers, and climate change.
Right now we have an unprecedented opportunity to build our economy back in a cleaner, healthier, stronger, and more equitable way.
The water that comes through that system also has to be healthy and safe to drink.
The COVID-19 pandemic is shining an intense spotlight on health risks and health disparities across our country.
It is great that it is a bipartisan bill. Delighted that it passed in the Senate.
I have a bipartisan bill with Mr. Walberg and also our subcommittee's own Mr. Hudson, the Stop Senior Scams Act.
And I have always believed that there is an inextricable link between the environment in which people live and their health.
Not only are mental health issues a crisis in our country, we couple that with an economic crisis.
2020 is a defining year for our democracy. Facebook and the other platforms have a responsibility to the country to get their act together and to be a part of the solution and not the problem.
