I, too, want to thank Chairman Cole for the good effort on this piece of legislation. I rise to offer an amendment to H.R. 3354 that would block the NLRB from enforcing the extreme and partisan ambush election rule. Under the ambush…

I thank Mr. Cohen for yielding. I think that what he said is absolutely true. When you do a complete circle, you have come to a point of understanding that something is amiss, in good will we work together in a bipartisan fashion to fix…

In recent years, we have seen a growing number of instances where the government has confiscated private property from citizens and small businesses without any criminal conviction, or even criminal charges. Under current civil forfeiture…

The Save Local Business Act reflects the same straightforward joint employer test that workers and job creators relied on for decades.

We're going to be short in Texas alone, somewhere between 10 and 20,000 construction workers just to put people back in the home.

Most of the people in the construction industry, the homeowners that I represent are just like myself.

All too often, the important work we are doing in the people's House does not get the attention it deserves. So far this year, we have rolled back 14 overly burdensome regulations from the Obama administration, saving taxpayers billions of…

Well, I appreciate that and, Madam Chairwoman, I appreciate the fact as we heard that testimony we talked more about stakeholders at the local and State level as opposed to Federal and that is a good thing.

The 340B program assists some of the most needy patients in our communities, including those who receive their care at community health centers, hemophilia treatment centers, and HIV clinics.

I am hopeful and expectant that this hearing will help us clearly identify those challenges as we seek to preserve and strengthen this 340B program.

But workers also deserve the right to make a free and informed decision in the matter.

That's why I was proud to introduce the Workforce Democracy and Fairness Act to restore the rights of workers and employers in union elections.

We will not have evil stop us from doing our business we've been called to do.
