I thank my good friend from the great State of Kentucky as well. Madam Speaker, I rise today in strong opposition to the inflation, recession, IRS army act. As the American people struggle to put food on their tables and gas in their cars…

The American Humane Association, the country's first national humane organization, is saving, sheltering, feeding, and protecting more than 1 billion animals around the world each year. In honor of noted conservationist Wolfgang Kiessling…

Inspired by the story of my constituent Lauren Price, I first filed comprehensive burn pit legislation with my colleague, Congressman Ruiz, in 2018. Lauren developed a terminal illness due to her exposure to burn pit toxins in Iraq…

I thank the ranking member and the chairman for this very important bill. I rise in strong support of H.R. 7666, the Restoring Hope for Mental Health and Well-Being Act, which reauthorizes and improves key SAMHSA block grant programs for…

With gas prices at or above $5 per gallon, Americans are feeling significant pain at the pump. In a recent survey of my constituents, 89 percent said they have had to change or cancel their summer travel plans due to the surge in gas…

I am calling on President Biden to invest in our combat readiness and keep this center open so that our world-class military service members have the world-class training they deserve.

I am advocating for the inclusion of my bill H.R. 1282, the Major Richard Star Act, into the FY23 NDAA.

I thank Subcommittee Chair Doyle, the ranking member of the subcommittee, and the chairman of the full committee as well for their support. The spectrum landscape has changed dramatically since 2003, Madam Speaker, with increased demand…

We know that maternal mortality has been increasing in the U.S. while declining in other countries, unfortunately. We know these rates are even worse for Black women, Madam Speaker. We also know that lack of broadband in today's society…

Inflation hit 7.9 percent in February. Inflation hurts all Americans, especially seniors and those living on a fixed income. During each of my recent townhall meetings and surveys, Madam Speaker, my constituents have consistently pleaded…

Tomorrow marks the 1-year anniversary of one-party, radical rule in D.C. With Democrats at the helm, Americans have faced one crisis after another, unfortunately. We have the highest inflation in 41 years, supply chain disruptions…

I hope that means this is a precursor, and not a substitute... for passing a national privacy and data security law.

I thank my fellow Florida Gator. I was born in Gainesville, Florida, and raised in the Tampa Bay area. I am very blessed to be a Floridian and with this wonderful woman here. I thank her for doing this Special Order. Madam Speaker, today I…

I thank the ranking member and the chairman of the committee and, of course, the ranking member of the full committee, Cathy McMorris Rodgers, for their work on this bill. I am honored to be here today to speak in support of H.R. 3894 and…

I appreciate very much and want to thank the ranking member and, of course, the chairman of the committee as well. I won't take all of the 3 minutes. Mr. Speaker, I rise in strong support of H.R. 2355, the Opioid Prescription Verification…

I want to thank my good friend, Dr. Ruiz, for organizing this very important Special Order. I know he is a terrific doctor, and the fact that he has sacrificed to be here, to complete the mission. I appreciate it so very much. I have a…

This Thanksgiving is expected to be the most expensive in history due to skyrocketing inflation. Americans are also being warned that their Christmas presents will cost more and might not arrive on time due to the supply chain disruptions…

President Biden's radical policies have stymied America's energy independence and created a crisis, unfortunately. The national average price for a gallon of gas has climbed to its highest level since 2014 and is 66 percent higher than it…

I urge the Committee to advance this important, lifesaving bill through a vote of the full House, because I would hope we can all agree that a child born alive has a right to live.

This bipartisan bill would direct HRSA to develop and test oral health literacy strategies capable of reaching across vulnerable populations.

I feel blessed to, of course, represent the 12th Congressional District in the State of Florida, but also to sit on this committee and make a real difference, because this is the best committee in Congress, without question.

The Biden administration's message to many Americans is that we may not receive our Christmas and holiday gifts this year on time because of the supply chain issues.

I hope that we will get the opportunity to look at that bill, and I hope we will get the opportunity to call that bill up.

That is why I have introduced a bipartisan bill, the MADE in America Act, manufacturing aids to pharmaceuticals and drugs and excipients here in America.

We have known for a long time that we were too dependent on other countries for our PPE, for our drugs, and the pharmaceutical ingredients.
