the problem that we have though is that in many of the communities like my hometown, water is really expensive.

To my friend from Arizona, I appreciate his passion. I wish it were true that he had somehow cured diabetes. It would be great news for my daughter and so many other Americans who say that they are looking for that cure. In the meantime…

I do appreciate the focus of this proposal on infrastructure, on strengthening the middle class, on supporting law enforcement in particular.

I was disappointed that the budget request calls for funding the Flint Registry at a lower level than was passed.

So thank you for that effort.

To truly protect our democracy, we need truth. Truth is clear as this shard of broken glass that I have carried with me for the last 365 days.

I was able to secure $95 million in the Build Back Better Act, which hopefully will come to the President's desk in the not too distant future, to replace firefighting foam containing PFAS.

That is why I was proud to cosponsor Representative Dingell's PFAS Action Act, an expansive bill to regulate, cleanup PFAS contamination.

we have this obligation to protect communities, and especially to protect those firefighters.

this task force now has more than sixty Members, and it's because, as we discover the extent of PFAS contamination, Members of Congress understand that we have this responsibility to step up and defend the people that we work for.

Thank you very much to the two Chairs for holding this really important hearing.

We obviously have to get serious about strengthening our domestic semiconductor supply chain, and we have to act now to save American jobs.
