I thank Chairwoman Waters for putting together such an important set of corporate governance reforms, one that absolutely supports investors in this country, like our teachers who are involved in institutional investment for their safety…

In the last century, businesses have become much less reliant on physical assets and more reliant on their workers. In fact, virtually every business that I talk to says that the people are their most important asset. Yet, we have minimal…
It is important to reiterate that any action that reduces big oil's obligation to decarbonize their fuel through biofuels would be a continuation of Trump's failed policies.
Unfortunately, the last Administration repeatedly undermined the Renewable Fuel Standard through small refinery exemptions, removing over 4 billion gallons of ethanol demand from the market.
So, Chair Gensler, what I am wondering is if that is something that the SEC will look at in evaluating whether the current regulatory structures are doing enough to protect investors against gamification, towards riskier behavior?
It is a shame that we have food insecurity in this country at all, but the effects of the pandemic have only worsened the situation.
We have to make sure that all of our communities have access to fresh, healthy foods in a convenient and affordable manner.
We have 42 million Americans, including 13 million children, who are estimated to experience food insecurity this year.

Why are you looking for a way not to help American people right now? This isn't your money; it is taxpayer money.
I hope we can get that done quickly so that we don't have a 20-day gap here where millions of people are going to get evicted.
I am so pleased to cosponsor this amendment today, to ensure that no taxpayer dollars go toward advancing a lawsuit that literally threatens the livelihood of millions of Americans. Mr. Speaker, since 2017, we have seen an administration…
Tonight I had the rare privilege to preside over the House as our colleagues spoke about our beloved colleague, John Lewis, an honor I will remember for the rest of my life. And as I turned to hear the stories from both Republicans and…
I thank Chairwoman Waters and Chairman DeFazio for their work. Manufactured housing can be a critical tool to providing affordable housing and a pathway to homeownership. But in Iowa, that option has been abused by outside investors who…
I believe that in May, we saw that 20 million less Americans had jobs than they did 3 months prior.
It seems like we are in agreement that supporting State and local budgets is a key step to supporting the recovery process.
I think all of us here expect better than what we have seen from Wells Fargo and from your predecessors.
