Thank you, Mr. Chairman.

I think it is safe to say that medical marijuana is extremely important in my State.

So the run-up had been a long time. Apparently a consensus had been developed that it was smarter and wiser...

I know you toured MacDill recently to inspect the situation and meet with some of the families affected.

I would just like to echo what my colleagues have said, the great capability that resides in the Reserve Components.

We should be offering them a hand up, not slapping them on the wrist with a steep rent hike.

How do you justify taxing the poor single mothers by hiking their rent?

I wrote you a letter, along with the entire Democratic Delegation from Florida, about how your proposed rent hikes on the poorest Floridians would evict 1.7 million Americans, including 1 million children.

What needs to happen is adoption of carbon-free energy sources.

I represent on the west coast of Florida Pinellas County, which is the St. Petersburg, Clearwater area.

Florida may be the state that is most susceptible to rising sea levels.
