"I strongly urge the Committee to continue to address issues of animal welfare."

"Food insecurity is persisting amid this post-pandemic recovery, and it is affecting our most vulnerable communities."

"Thank you for holding this Member Day hearing and providing me with the opportunity to share the concerns of my constituents and community."
