we have to make sure that we are, again, go back to the statement I made earlier, these dollars that are in Davis Bacon or a prevailing wage, this is Federal money that we are paying to do contracting with.

I definitely support raising the minimum wage.

I would love to work with you on that.

I think that we need to continue to strengthen the American worker here.

We are dealing with a system of systemic racism that we have to continue to address.

I absolutely do commit to work with you. And this is one of the largest crises of the moment.

I look forward to working with him, President Biden, and Vice President Harris to see our country through this pandemic and rebuild an economy that is stronger and fair for all workers.

I absolutely would look forward to working with you and this Committee, but the entire Congress to talk about how do we make those investments.

I think if we can make community college free for kids in our systems, I think absolutely that is a goal we should be trying to do.

Access to mental health and substance use treatment.

We have to do something about that.

I think, first and foremost, we have to have more conversations around the country.

I find it really important that as we think about these standards... this is about protecting their workforce.

President Biden's, his plan of building back better is going to take significant investments on the workforce development side of it.

I support him in that, a $15.00 minimum wage.

We need to make sure that when our workers... they have all the protections that they need and deserve.

I share their commitment to build back better--with an economy that works for every single American worker.

I would support him because it's about containing and eliminating the virus.

There has been no national pain from the very beginning. There's still no national plan.

I think as a country, if we shut down university across the country in the beginning of this virus would be in a lot better shape, as the United States of America was in terms of the coronavirus.

If we get to 4% will not be opening school. If we -- if we're opening school in a row in a hybrid model, and we get to 4% we'll be closing it back down.

I believe Joe Biden could manage our big country in a pandemic.

The estimated numbers are actually rather stunning. The National Renewable Energy Laboratory has estimated the job creation potential off the Atlantic Coast alone at up to 212,000 jobs per year in the United States.

We can ensure that the jobs created by today's bill... are good jobs that benefit American workers.

By the Federal agencies' own analysis, not only when the current administration proposes to roll back fuel economy standards, not only are we having a pollution impact, we are actually losing jobs.
