Political Quotes

“I am a proud co-lead of the amendment with Ranking Member Ken Buck of Colorado. This amendment is the result of good faith negotiations on an issue raised by Republicans on the House Judiciary Committee during debate on my bill, the Ending Forced Arbitration of Sexual Assault and Sexual Harassment Act. We promised them that we would work to address those issues, and we did. I am glad we could reach an agreement to address their concerns about State and local laws. This amendment and the underlying bill are a testament to what we can accomplish when we listen to each other and trust that we are working toward a common goal. In this case, that goal is protecting survivors of sexual assault and harassment and giving them a choice on how to pursue justice. Madam Speaker, I thank Congressman Buck for offering this amendment and working with us to address the concerns of his colleagues. I urge my colleagues on both sides of the aisle to support this amendment.”
