Do you think that Congress should strongly consider replenishing this program?

I am really disappointed to learn that the likelihood of that independent restaurant receiving assistance is incredibly small.

I have been a proud advocate of this program since the Restaurants Act was introduced in the last Congress.

I think you are exactly the right person to be testifying as a witness in front of us today about the SBA's COVID relief programs since you are the administrator of the Small Business Administration.

I thank Chairwoman Waters for yielding and for including my amendment in this en bloc. Mr. Speaker, years ago, a bright and talented young man from Eagan named Ryan Frascone took out student loans to enroll in classes at Metro State…

I can't tell you how pleased I am about yesterday's announcement that HHS will enforce civil rights protections for LGBTQ Americans related to healthcare.

Last month I was proud to reintroduce a bill called the State Health Care Premium Reduction Act that would provide HHS with funding to help States set up reinsurance programs.

I want to give credit to my colleague and classmate, Representative Lauren Underwood, for her championing and persistence in making sure that this was part of the American Rescue Plan.

My top priority in Congress is to lower the cost of healthcare and prescription drugs and improve access for all Americans.

Reinsurance, obviously, is just one tool, I know, that we can use to shore up the ACA and to make sure that healthcare is more affordable for hardworking Minnesota families.

Long COVID is such a complex disease that we don't know so much about it at this point.

Addressing the issue of rural broadband deployment expansion and funding is one of my top priorities as a Member of Congress from Minnesota's 2nd District.

Thank you again for your focus on these important issues. There is undoubtedly more work ahead...

Just over 2 months ago, a man walked into an Allina Health clinic in Buffalo, Minnesota, and opened fire, killing one employee and injuring four others. On that tragic day, nurses, doctors, social workers, and others were reportedly…

It is our responsibility to step forward and help protect our workers. It is beyond the pale to put our heads in the sand, as Members of Congress, and say there is nothing that we can do. What the hell are we doing here if we do that?

Last year, the CARES Act delivered relief checks to millions, but families were disappointed to learn that their dependent adult children weren't eligible to receive support, including the Harris family in Eagan, Minnesota. Debbie and…

For over a year now, small businesses in my district and across the country have struggled to make it through this public health and economic crisis. As a result of this pandemic, prospective small business owners face a steeper climb than…

I have no further speakers and I am prepared to close. I reserve the balance of my time.
