Elijah Cummings actually said...

"I worked on the First Step Act with my friend, Hakeem Jeffries and introduced it with a belief that we can and should do better when it comes to our prison system and our criminal justice system."

"Our bill would do what many state agencies and private corporations are already doing."

"The Fair Chance Act is important, both in terms of what it does, and in terms of the example it sets."

"I support the bill, and we all should support the bill."
