I mean, to me, this is the ultimate win-win. I mean, not only are we doing right by our veterans, but these business entities get people with the skills and values they need to be successful, too.

I believe it is the civil rights issue of our time.

Those families are a mosaic of our state. Every race, color, and creed, religion, economic background, all just looking for an opportunity to have their shot at the American dream.

The best way to determine what is the best path for a child's future is to let that parent decide.

If we bring forward policies that actually end up hurting the very people that we are saying we are trying to protect, that does not make sense for anybody.

Why do you need to be protected from yourself?

In life and in public policy, we are not only accountable for our intentions, we are also accountable for your results.

I want to join the chorus of support for H.R. 2209. I thank Mrs. Maloney for her work on this legislation.

We all want to see workers in America treated fairly in the workplace, but if the decisions of the NLRB destroy the franchise model, you won't just hurt the people who own those franchises; you will hurt all the workers who would lose…

But if you put regulatory burdens on these franchises in a way where they don't have the additional revenue to increase wages, you are going to hurt the very people that you are trying to help.

Do you believe that this fiduciary rule standard that they are putting forward will make that more likely to happen for middle-class families or less likely?
