It's not a partisan issue.

In order to properly address PFAS contamination in America, we've got to understand the full scientific history behind the health risks and its uses.

I certainly don't understand that.

I think every place in Colorado is wonderful.

Make these banks give some reparations to the City of Detroit.

Thank you, Representative Tlaib, for your dedication and passion, and for bringing them here to Detroit to talk about an issue.

I hope this hearing helps you feel heard and feel seen.

I want to thank Representative Garcia and Chairman Green for coming with the Detroit People's Platform this morning.

I thank Chairman Scott and Chairman Neal for their leadership and taking a lot of words and putting it into real action.

We have got to find the will and we have got to do it together.

I think every great human achievement begins with a goal and the goal for the moment, I think, is 100 by '50.

Do you think that law enforcement is generally in need of more resources for enforcement of impaired driving?

Do you think this technology would be ready for a fleet test of 1,500 cars by 2020?

Unfortunately, sometimes we do [need regulation], and here is an example of when we do.

I am a car girl, everybody knows that. And I believe the U.S. auto industry is home to some of the best and the brightest engineers in the world.

As I mentioned, this week I will be introducing a bill that calls for commercializing and standardizing a passive alcohol detection system.

It is time. Congress has to step up and do something, and do something we will.

When somebody is weaving around the road, that is the first indication.

We need to stop allowing industry to poison us with products that we don't necessarily need.

There is also a bill that I submitted that every public school should be tested for the water.

We just have to fix it. We can't argue about it. We can't debate it.

A basic human need to live as a human being is water, food, and shelter, and water must be clean, it must be safe, and it must be affordable.

Eighteen million dollars has been appropriated for research and study of PFAS. It is just the beginning.

I believe that polluters like DuPont and 3M should be required to pay their share of the cleanup costs.
