I just want to tell a story on that very specific restriction. We had the Republican secretary of state in Florida recently ask the attorney general to start assessing $50 fines for each of the 76 voter registration applications that were…

I rise in opposition to H.R. 822, the National Right-to-Carry Reciprocity Act. This ill-conceived bill is yet another distraction from what should be the most pressing concern of this Congress, putting Americans back to work. What's more…

Madam Speaker, I rise today to voice my opposition to H.R. 358. When I speak with women in my district, they are concerned about finding a job, keeping their home from foreclosure, or putting food on the table. What they do not ask for is…
