I am just concerned, I guess, as an Army wife and an Army stepmom, that we have got, I think, over 200,000 uniformed military serving overseas.

I mean, I guess I would hope that we all, everyone on the committee cares about how the money that Congress appropriates is spent, and that was certainly concerning.

I voted for it. I think many folks sitting here watching voted for it.

So the fiscal year 2021 request for the Department of Defense, and I am on the Armed Services Committee, is $845 million.

I am a big believer that you have to keep pressure on these terrorist networks or else they do grow back.

I feel like I have rarely seen an issue where so many people agree that we, just after the experience of COVID, learned in real time that certain supplies, certain issues, certain medical supplies and pharmaceuticals, at least a portion of…

I support this legislation as a critical lifeline to small businesses coping with the crisis and the hospitals on the front lines of this war. SBA loan programs are vital to Main Street businesses across my district, and I am proud to…

The passage of the PPP program, Paycheck Protection Program, was absolutely necessary, and replenishing it today is as well.

In Michigan, we have been deeply hard hit by this crisis.

I consider the bill that we are going to vote on today as a must-pass piece of legislation.

I am working on a bill with some of my colleagues across the aisle called the Intel at Our Borders Act.

I just want to thank you for your approach to this committee.

I really want to have clarity for the people who are at home who are looking to you all and to us for guidance.

In Michigan, protecting our Great Lakes is one of the most bipartisan issues, because it's about our economy and who we are as a state.

Thank you, Representatives Napolitano and Westerman, for the opportunity to share my priorities for the Water Resources Development Act authorization.

You are not the EPA and EPA has not done its job in setting a standard for what is safe and not--what is not safe. So you can't live up to that standard that doesn't exist.

Thank you for setting up that task force as soon as you came in. That was a great thing, and I was really pleased that on a bipartisan basis in last year's Pentagon budget we passed the first six provisions into law dealing with PFAS that…

We are on the leading edge in Michigan of something that is going to be a household name in the next few years.

I think we have an existential debate with the White House on the importance of PFAS.

I was very proud that my first six provisions that I have had turned into law as a member of Congress are on all PFAS.

If you have to worry that giving your child a glass of water is going to give them early childhood cancer, that is a threat to your family's safety.

We need to start thinking of environmental security the way we think of homeland security because it is about the safety of our kids and the preservation of our way of life.

We must work to protect Americans against this threat, just as we protect them from threats to our physical security.

The most important one that I am the most proud of is the PFAS Monitoring Act.

We passed provisions that forbids the military from using PFAS-laden firefighting foam after 2024.
