I have said, for the last year and a half, that my goal is 52 plus. I am confident that we are in a position to get 52 plus.

Today, we write a bold new chapter in our history by passing the Inflation Reduction Act, which will substantially lower the cost of living for San Diegans and all Americans. We are turning our climate ambition into climate action by…

communities all across the country are suffering from exposure to PFAS--commonly used chemicals that do not break down and have been linked to serious health problems. This amendment would strike a provision in the bill that would help DHS…

this motion is meant to delay or kill this bill. If adopted, it would harm the IRS's ability to carry out its duties by preventing the Agency from hiring new workers. Federal employees are returning to in-person work, but Agencies need…

this motion is just another effort to delay or kill this incredibly important bill and would effectively remove the requirement for students to be vaccinated against COVID-19 in DC public schools. Vaccines have proven to be effective at…

There is no question. I think it is important to remind everyone that the health advisory levels show that there is no safe amount of exposure.

We need to step up and make sure that we continue to move forward.

We have to stay on it, clearly.

I think I speak for everybody who lives around that area, that this is simply unacceptable to have that kind of time line.

Do you believe you are getting adequate support from either the State or the Federal Government to address these concerns with wildlife and your abilities to hunt and to fish, and what more could we do?

This has to be navigated at the Federal level. I do not see any other way to do that.

I think that is another vital part that actually other States in the country could do, and are not doing currently.

That is a pretty big deal, 'No safe exposure.'

Michigan's receiving, I think, $22 million for PFAS work this year.

I appreciate you brought up that criteria, and that was actually a question that I was going to ask related to criteria for PFOA and PFAS.

And not just stay on it, but accelerate it.

We have to get this done. You expressed a sense of urgency.

I do have legislation to address that issue and I certainly appreciate your testimony here.

I do not like general messer-uppers. So clearly we have to deal with this.

Clearly, we have to have a national drinking water standard.

The people in our communities deserve the attention of the full force of the Federal Government.
