I want to acknowledge and thank you, Governor Pritzker, for the tremendous leadership you have provided to our state during the last three-plus years.

In President Biden's first year in office, the country gained 6.6 million jobs, by far the strongest job growth record of any President's first year in office.

Farm Credit System lenders have proven to be an effective tool for rural communities, and we must preserve their independent regulatory status.

I introduced the Farm Credit Administration Independent Authority Act (H.R. 7768) with my colleagues Representatives Jimmy Panetta, Michelle Fischbach, Abigail Spanberger, and Angie Craig.

These benefits have always been intended to be a tool to get people back on their feet from a hard time, not an economic incentive to stay on the sidelines.

The entire political lectern seems to be moving toward the polar ends of the political spectrum.

What you all did with the 21st Century Cures Act, I mean, that is the epitome of bipartisanship.

I am in favor of paid family medical leave. As a matter of fact, not only am I in favor of it, I introduced it, and so I am definitely in favor of it.

It is the most arrogant, cruel, and inhumane responses that I have ever heard individuals engaged in an activity come forth with.

Your leadership has been absolutely outstanding. I think you have chosen the work for us to do.

Thank you, Madam Chairman.

What we believe in this case, what happens if you after 48 hours allow that review process to happen and to therefore make it public, it gets it out to the public much faster.

We’ve heard the demands for transparency and accountability and that to me is what this is about.
