I thank Ranking Member Chabot for yielding. I rise today in support of the Veteran Entrepreneurship Training Act of 2019, a bill that I was proud to introduce with Representative Schneider. This bill authorizes the Boots to Business…

Due process is a right so important that we have not one but two constitutional amendments to ensure it. Past impeachment inquiries began with a resolution to define scope, to establish rules and procedures, and to give equal subpoena…

For the third time, we will vote to terminate President Trump's national emergency declaration related to the crisis on our southern border. When are we going to get serious about solving the issue? For the first half of the year…

I call on the Democrat leadership to keep us in session the first 2 weeks of October, if this is as urgent and as serious as they are telling the American people. I will not support the political impeachment that Democrats are incessantly…

Congress has a job to ensure veterans and servicemembers have access to comprehensive mental health.

I am a proud cosponsor of the Paws Act of 2019 that allocates a grant program to private entities for service dogs that will help veterans who are struggling with invisible wounds.

The VA has not released data relating to veterans dying by suicide since 2016. This data is critical to solving this epidemic.

By putting politics aside and focusing on improving the lives of Veterans, this is the most bipartisan Committee on Capitol Hill.

It should not take us seven years to open an outpatient facility, when all we are being required to do is secure leases for that property.

I thank Chairman Smith and Ranking Member Thornberry for including amendment No. 341 in the en bloc package. Madam Chair, I rise in strong support of amendment No. 341. This bipartisan amendment introduced by Representative Schneider and…

As a member of the Florida delegation, I put a lot of faith in Federal disaster recovery efforts, and I expect every dollar to make an impact on people whose lives have been upended.

The wait is 700 days. That is like putting a Band-Aid on a gaping wound. I look forward to addressing this crisis, but this bill is not the solution. If they were serious about solving the problem, Democrats would include additional…

Earlier this year, I was one of 169 House Members who signed a letter to President Trump urging him to reject any appropriations legislation that would undermine pro-life protections. The President agreed. He agreed that long-standing…

If this unanimous consent request can't be entertained, I urge the Speaker to-- The SPEAKER pro tempore. The gentleman has not been recognized for debate. ____________________

At the start of this Congress, the new Democratic majority promised that legislation would be considered under regular order. Six months into Congress, it is evident that that promise has been abandoned altogether. Instead, the majority…

This country was built by great leaders on the bedrock of even greater ideals. The idea that all are created equal and endowed with those certain inalienable rights. The idea that democracy was instituted not to bestow rights given to us…

I happen to be a Christian, and I am grateful. I am grateful to have been born in a nation where my beliefs and those of every other American are legally protected by our Constitution. It is no coincidence that the very First Amendment to…

What gets measured gets done.

As a third-generation small-business owner myself, I am very familiar with the reciprocal relationship between entrepreneurs and their surrounding communities.

28 years ago today was a very good day. In fact, it was one of the best days of my life. You see, it was the day that Amie Sue Wurzel said yes. She said yes to my clumsy marriage proposal. Since then, we have been through a lot together…

This past June, our family was rocked by a very scary incident. We were excited and joyfully anticipating the birth of our very first grandchild, a boy whose name would be Silas. Our excitement and joy quickly turned to fear and dread when…
