You can’t access disaster relief. You can’t make the necessary repairs to your home, and in some cases, you can actually lose it altogether.

Properties that have been in your family for generations can become difficult to protect when the system doesn’t recognize the way that we have passed down land for generations.

We figured out how to hold on to that land, but for too many families, that’s just not the case.

I condemn these efforts in the strongest possible terms and oppose the Department of Justice putting the American people’s safety at risk by taking away our country’s agents to assist in the President’s witch hunt.

This sweeping deployment of FBI agents and resources to Atlanta to investigate the 2020 election results is another troubling sign of a pattern in this administration to attempt to toss out, overturn, or cast doubt on election results that…

This administration is withholding funding left and right to anything that has to do with Black people, Indigenous people, Latino people.

Voter suppression by any other name is still voter suppression. This resolution violates the 14th Amendment, 19th Amendment, 24th Amendment, and every tenet of a free and inclusive democracy. Mr. Speaker, I urge my colleagues to vote…

We don't have enough quality affordable housing for everyone, and that has generational effects way beyond ensuring that people have a place to lay their heads at night.

One of the biggest challenges homebuyers in Atlanta face is having to compete with large institutional investors purchasing homes in bulk.

I support stronger capital requirements at our largest institutions, and I want the record to reflect that.

Affordable housing lays the foundation for financial stability, economic mobility, and wealth-building.

It is of the utmost importance that the next farm bill ensures the nearly $20 billion provided in the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) for USDA conservation programs is used for its intended purpose.

TEFAP is too important for this Committee to discredit, as the program is a key driver for not only supporting the U.S. agricultural economy, but a tool helping people facing food insecurity and hunger.

I believe most, if not all, of the delegation, believe it is important that the Committee delivers a bipartisan farm bill that helps all urban and rural communities, no matter their [ZIP C]ode.

I have seen firsthand how important the United States Department of Agriculture's programs are for my constituents and stakeholders when it comes to farming and nutrition.

I was excited to reintroduce H.R. 5203, the AGRITOURISM Act, in partnership with my friend Dan Newhouse as well as Congressman Rouzer.

Puerto Rico has been excluded from SNAP since the 1980s, and NAP is one of the main programs that island residents turn to.

I introduced legislation that will help us achieve participation in SNAP, H.R. 253, the Puerto Rico Nutrition Assistance Fairness Act.

The people demand and deserve student debt cancellation.
