I believe that it is important for Congress to lead by example.
There's clearly bipartisan support to support the essential workers that have been mentioned thus far
The poultry and beef cattle industries are major industries in my congressional district.
We have heard untrue claims that the Trump Administration did not act soon enough to prevent coronavirus from entering our country.
Employees at food processing facilities are very essential workers.
Hopefully Congress can work with you all in a bipartisan way, we can together and help do everything we can to protect American lives.
I cannot think of a more important Committee hearing that would take place in Congress this week than the one we are having now.
their biggest concern is the fact that they can't find workers.
I can assure you I will do that. I know many of my colleagues on both sides of the aisle will continue to do that.
Thank you for the opportunity to speak with you today.
I would like to express my support for the Harbor Maintenance Trust Fund.
