Debbie Dingell

I have been spearheading the Oregon delegation's efforts to shed light on the situation at the school for more than a year and a half.

Are there any innovative solutions to address PFAS contamination from a watershed approach that you are considering?

It is very important to have class of PFAS controlled under CERCLA so that we can ensure cleanup.

This committee can learn a great deal from his experience and all the good work that is being done at the local level.

Today's hearing is obviously important as both have you, everybody, both sides has pointed out.

I discovered that it is about $700 to them.

I think you would probably rather be at the dentist than with us right now.

Universal coverage would ensure that our safety net hospitals are sufficiently funded and resourced.

We must adopt a system of universal coverage that minimize the administrative medical costs.

Every patient should have the opportunity to receive first-class medical care rather than being considered second best because of a lack of insurance, provider's bias, and limitation of the Medicaid system.

I want to continue this, and I am committed because this industry, and this economy, and this country depends on this.

I want to find peace, Mr. Wheeler. The issue of fuel economy standards is one that is very complex...

Who do you think we are helping by taking it away?

Thank you Chairman Tonko and Republican Leader Shimkus for holding this important hearing today to discuss the urgent threat from climate change we all face and to learn from State and local governments firsthand who are acting…

I don't want to interrupt, but I am going to have you give us more answers because I have only got 2 minutes left.

I am a pragmatic person. Having had a sister that died of a drug overdose and a father that was a drug addict, I have a very natural reaction.

It needs to be an absolute priority. I think everyone in this room is worried about impaired driving, period.

My State just legalized it, and it is being legalized in State after State in this country, and we need to deal with it.

Advocates commends Representative Debbie Dingell--thank you so much--for your recent introduction of legislation to reduce drunk driving following the horrific crash that you mentioned in Northville, Michigan.

Why aren't we using it? We need to explore every possible solution, including giving law enforcement the resources that they need to get drunk driving off the roads.

Drunk driving brings pain to families and communities across this country.

I thank all of you for being here.

The American worker is the backbone of this country.

Since the administration withdrew the United States from the Paris Agreement, cities and States, like Ann Arbor and Michigan, have been forced to rise up in the absence of needed Federal leadership on the world's stage.

And yet, this administration choses to do nothing.
