On the recordJanuary 13, 2022
Mr. Speaker, today I stand on the shoulders of my grandmother and my grandfather, who migrated to the North from the South, who took me every election day, dressed up, and educated me every step of the way to understand the power of the right to vote. She was denied the right to vote. It is heartbreaking that this bill that has been passed time and time again is now a political ploy. We now know that the freedoms and the rights of Americans are based and bred from voting rights. I stand here today in support of passing this bill.
