Frederica Wilson: “Thank you, Mr. Chairman, and also for having this hearing.”

The American people do not want another endless war. Our service members should not be put in harm’s way without a clear plan, a clear objective, and a real path forward.

After DOGE firings disproportionately impacted Black women and other federal workers, we are stepping up to connect our community with new opportunities, resources, and a path forward.

I look forward to returning soon and continuing to deliver for the people of Florida’s 24th Congressional District with the same dedication, strength, and commitment they deserve.

We should be working together to ensure that law abiding components of DHS remain fully operational and that the people who serve there are paid without delay.
