As Congress considers the FAA reauthorization, I respectfully ask your leadership in addressing the racial and ethnic disparities in aviation.

Much of eastern North Carolina is rural. Our communities direly need broadband.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I would yield back.

Thanks so much, Mr. Chairman. Good morning, and thank you so much for being here to ensure our producers have consistent, predictable USDA guidelines on animal disease and prevention.

Eastern North Carolina has a very robust agricultural workforce and a large presence of poultry producers.

Thank you so much for being here to ensure our producers have consistent, predictable USDA guidelines.

When you see what it did to the Chinese pork industry, it just devastated it.

As we saw tragically in Hong Kong, the people at the top of the institutions matter as much if not more than the institutions of government themselves.

I was there at the scene of the crime in Wisconsin, when they ended welfare as we know it.

I have heard you talk about the case management and, Ms. Francis, you have social workers, people with MSWs?

I don't know who it is we are imposing these work requirements on.

I hope that we can work together to make it easier, not harder, for kinship families to get help from TANF.

TANF fails families by imposing crushing administrative burdens designed to kick them off under the guise of accountability.

This meager support is shameful, given the clear evidence that living in poverty causes both short and long-term health problems for children.

Instead of focusing on how to help children, today's hearing topic seems to blame parents, grandparents, and other caregivers for their poverty.

The primary goal of TANF should be to reduce adversity for poor children by providing stability and support for their families.

Can you give me a sense as to why the Seymour Johnson Child Development Center is not on the current unfunded priorities list?

I want to bring you your attention some of the challenges faced by personnel at Seymour Johnson Air Force Base, which is a major economic driver in eastern North Carolina.

We appreciate your consideration of the immense positive impact SNAP has on the lives of millions of Americans as well as its beneficial impact on the national economy and our nation's long-term financial sustainability.

Medicare physicians' pay and its impact on patient access to care remains a major issue for many of my constituents.

I would love to see the Secretary make it to others.

I thank you for permanently ending the taxation of forgiven student debt, and for all the other policies that would make our country stronger.

I deeply appreciate the recognition that making the adoption tax credit refundable is essential to removing income as a barrier to adoption.

I thank the President for advancing an even greater Child Tax Credit to lift even more children out of poverty.

I think that the idea of going to the heartland and going into--leaving the District and going straight to people is going to be very important.
