Our constituents across America would be surprised to know that so many of these districts have been poisoned by a chemical they never even heard of, the PFOS and PFAS chemicals. But they would be even more shocked to know that the very cookware that they cook their meals to serve to their little kids and to their families contain that very poison. So why wouldn't we want to let them know, give them a heads-up? And then, turning to Florida, we had a cancer cluster in Ocala, Florida, that hurt countless firefighters. If we are not here to protect little kids and firefighters, why are we here? We don't need to wait for the Senate to tell us whether we can act or not. We need to act now, and that is why I am supporting this bill.
