I thank the gentleman for yielding, and I thank him for his work in introducing the bill that would repeal this rider that prevents the IRS from the kind of inquiry that should be done. This is about figuring out who is leaning into the…

I just want to support the amendment. Obviously, we want to make voting as accessible as we can to everybody, and this is a very, very important step in terms of supporting that with respect to people with disabilities. I want to thank my…

I thank the gentleman for yielding. I just want to support this amendment. Again, what we are talking about here with H.R. 1 is increasing confidence, engagement, and participation on behalf of the voters. This opportunity to be able to…

I thank the gentleman for yielding. I just really wanted to echo what was just said, a couple of things that were said. First of all to note that, clearly, best practices have emerged with respect to public companies making this kind of…

I thank the gentlewoman for yielding. Actually, I want to echo the remarks of the gentleman from Illinois and the remarks of the gentlewoman from California in congratulating Congresswoman Spanberger on this excellent amendment and…

I thank the gentlewoman for yielding. I thank her for this amendment which is, as she says, a very commonsense amendment. I don't really understand what the objection would be. If you don't apply the same ethical standards to unpaid staff…

I thank the gentlewoman for yielding. The gentleman is right. There are examples of these systems across the country. Actually, Maryland has, now, two jurisdictions that have embraced public financing. You are worried about the moderates…

If we have a matching system that gives power to small donors, now the candidate is going to say: If I want to raise money from my campaign and power my campaign, I am going to go spend time with real people in my district. I am going to…

I thank the gentlewoman for yielding and for all her hard work on this bill. I am concerned that there is a collective delirium that seems to have infected part of this Chamber. I keep hearing our colleagues on the other side say that the…

I thank the gentlewoman for yielding. Mr. Chair, last year, in the 2018 election, a powerful message was sent to this Congress that the public wants us to clean up our politics, fight corruption, unrig the system, and make sure that voting…

Let's build a new system of funding campaigns in America that is not owned by the special interests and the big money and the insiders. Let's build a system that is owned by the American people, where they call the shots, where small…

It abdicates U.S. leadership on global climate action--an issue where America has always been a leader.
