My colleague, Congressman French Hill, and I are leading legislation, Preventing Overdoses and Saving Lives Act, to provide State grants to encourage uptakes of these programs which have proven effective in helping address the opioid…

Most of you know I lost my sister to an opioid drug overdose, but in the last year, I also lost a family member from fentanyl.

We will not leave Washington, D.C. ... without voting on Build Back Better. It could come as early as late tomorrow night.

This is an industry that has got to lead the world on mobility. We’ve put the world on wheels and now we’re leading it in mobility and we’re doing it by going from the internal combustion engine to the electric vehicle.

By acting now, building upon the success of Magnuson-Stevens' proven, state-based conservation mechanisms, we will be able to address the pressing need for the benefit of fishing communities and the economy at large.

This legislation gives the Secretary of Commerce the authority to create a science-based definition for 'forage fish' in Federal waters.

To maintain healthy and abundant fisheries in the coming years, we must work to strengthen science-based mechanisms for fisheries management.

I appreciate the Committee's inclusion of the Forage Fish Conservation Act, which is bipartisan legislation I am leading with my colleague, Congressman Brian Mast.

I don't believe any exemption should be available to any new PFAS.

It is important that our industries be supported by government too

The COVID-19 pandemic has laid bare the significant vulnerabilities in our domestic supply chain

Those voters that voted for Donald Trump five years ago didn`t think Washington cared about them. Didn`t care about their jobs. He talked about how 75 percent of the batteries right now for electric vehicles are being built in China. And…

We all know what the Build Back Better vision is and we need it. And by the way, the American people were on it. They want our roads and bridges fixed. They`re worried about child care.

Well, Michigan is reflective of the country. We -- it was a state that Donald Trump won five years ago now, four years ago, which I predicted and everybody thought I was crazy. But it was a state that he won in 2020. We have people that…

Thank you, Mr. Chairman.

Failure isn`t an option. We`ve got to get this done.

Long-term educational attainment is inextricably linked to our conversation about a student and athlete's ability to monetize their name, image, or likeness.

Many of you have suggested that student athletes are students first and foremost.

I am really pleased to see the bipartisan attention on this issue and that the committee is taking the time to dig into the topic.
