On the recordNovember 18, 2021
I stand today and rise in the strongest support for the Build Back Better Act, the most transformational investment in everyday Americans in generations. I rise in support of the largest effort to combat climate change in American history. I rise in support of the largest expansion of affordable health coverage for Americans as well as the highest investment in housing. I rise in support of women, who will be able to go back to work because they will have childcare, and their children will be able to have universal preschool. I rise in support of the American people and seniors, who have been waiting for too long for more home care, and the workers will be able to see an increase in wages for caregiving. I am so proud to stand today for the American people, the middle class, who have been waiting so long for finally getting to see the Build Back Better Act.
