I greatly appreciate your leadership in establishing FSOC's new guidance on the designation of nonbanks as systemically important.

U.S. companies should not be allowed to obscure their exposure of the climate crisis risks threatening the investments of retirees.

The SEC has also required environmental disclosures going back to the Nixon Administration.

The Majority's memo for today's hearing mentioned concerns about the SEC's statutory authority.

It is really important for us to protect our constituents and this is one way we can do that.

We have thousands of U.S. citizens literally in my community that cannot get their spouses access to a legal pathway.

It has not worked. It has not united families.

I think both Democrats and Republicans have failed our immigrant neighbors in our country.

Do you know what the average wait time for them to get adjustment of status? Not approval, because they will get approved, you know, sometimes within a year or so.

We always focus so much on the border, but let us talk about so-called 'legal immigration' in our country.

Our residents deserve better. They deserve action.

I refuse to accept this as our new normal.

Our communities are on the front lines of the climate crisis, and these floods are only going to continue to get worse and more frequent.

We need to move with urgency.

Our communities, as you all know, are on the front lines of the climate crisis, and these floods are only continuing to get worse.

I am here once again, obviously, to talk about how we can protect our neighbors from flooding and contamination in the water.

Even if we eliminated all regulatory barriers today holding back our housing markets, would market-rate housing be affordable for all families? No, it wouldn't be affordable for extremely-low-income households.

Before government intervention, many of the foundational elements of our housing finance system, like the secondary mortgage market, simply didn't exist.

It strikes me as odd to hear criticism of, 'An outsized government presence distorting housing markets by supporting low-income families.'

The housing crisis is real.

I see it where Michigan lost more Black homeownership than any other State in the country.

But what I don't like is the fact that we think the private market is going to fix its own.

But when Congress provides housing assistance to only one out of four eligible households, while saddling public housing with a $70-billion capital backlog, we must be honest with ourselves about where the problem lies.

I believe that is a helpful recognition that Federal subsidies and intervention are necessary to make homes affordable.

Our Federal subsidies are, 'necessary to fill the gap between what the lowest-income people can afford to pay and the cost of developing operational rental homes.'
