"I'm thankful for the steps that you've taken to expand workplace rights and critical pay increases for TSA workers who've long been left behind."

"With 30 percent pay increases set to hit paychecks next month, TSA has already seen a drastic decrease of 40 to 50 percent attrition among TSA work force."

"I'm really concerned about the potential impact to TSA's mission if Congress fails to provide funding for increased pay, collective bargaining rights, and necessary staffing levels."

"I am a proud cosponsor of this bill, and I encourage my Republican colleagues to give it serious consideration as a solution to TSA's funding challenges."
