I thank my friend from Missouri for yielding. Madam Speaker, I rise today in support of H.R. 1799, the PPP Extension Act of 2021. This targeted, bipartisan 60-day Paycheck Protection Program extension is exactly the type of relief that…

Today I rise to honor Geraldine Amstutz of Rochester, Minnesota, who will celebrate her 100th birthday on March 15. Geraldine was born on March 15, 1921, in Grabill, Indiana, a small town founded and named after her grandfather. After…

Just weeks into this administration, and after endless promises of unity, the President has issued over 40 radical executive orders, ranging from rejoining a failed climate pact to taking steps to dismantle the Nation's border security…

The CARES Act allowed farmers and ranchers to apply for the Paycheck Protection Program by utilizing only net income in their loan calculations. This has prevented many agricultural partnerships from receiving the maximum loan amount…

We just can't have that in the United States anymore.

I just think the better approach is to build up our economy. Do the pro-growth policies that work.

Today, I introduce a resolution commemorating the 100th anniversary of the Department of Minnesota Veterans of Foreign Wars. The Minnesota VFW was founded on January 17, 1921, and, today, has over 200 posts across the State and serves more…

Had I been present for the vote on final passage of H.R. 335, I would have voted ``nay.''

I thank ranking Republican Conaway for yielding the time. I appreciate all that he has done for our committee over the years serving as chairman and everything else. Mr. Speaker, I thank Chairman Peterson for his service on behalf of our…

This program is working for folks, and I can also testify on some of the senior nutrition programs that they are working--I was just in Austin less than a couple weeks ago helping to distribute meals at lunch, and they are getting out 500…

I believe this is a bad idea for this institution and a terrible example for the Nation. I recommend a ``no'' vote. You know, it is ironic that as our Nation opens up and people go back to work safely and responsibly into their jobs, the…

Many of us, again, in bipartisan fashion, have sent letters down to EPA and said, 'We are going to hold your feet to the fire to make sure that this program, the Renewable Fuel Standard, is administered the way Congress intended.'

I think a task force would be great, in order to make sure that these Departments are coordinating and working together. Then we in the Congress can interact with them in a better fashion. We have to do every last thing we can to protect…

I thank the gentleman for yielding. Mr. Speaker, I rise in strong support of the Protecting America's Food and Agriculture Act. I think this bill is a great example of how the House can work together, particularly across committee lines…

Lack of access, lack of choice, and high cost consistently discourages parents from reentering the workforce.

Each community, each parent, and each child has unique wants and needs that are better served when choices are expanded.

In my home state of Minnesota, child care costs are over $16,000 per child annually, and that comprises about 21 percent of median family income.

I look forward to hearing the challenges presented within the childcare industry and what we can do to reduce burdensome regulations and costs within this field.

I appreciate the gentleman for his words, and I would first like to commend Chair Velazquez and Ranking Member Chabot for their leadership and their bipartisanship, demonstrating that a committee like ours can do very good work. I think…

After advocating for USMCA this past year, I am excited to vote for it today. Not only will this deal expand trade with Mexico and Canada, but it is going to help us build momentum for deals with other nations, like China, Vietnam, and so…

Many members of this body have publicly voiced support for impeachment since before this President was sworn into office--some even skipping the Inauguration, a time-honored American tradition, because they viewed him as an illegitimate…

the number one important thing for agriculture right now is to get the United States-Mexico-Canada Free Trade Agreement through.

I thank Ranking Member Chabot for yielding the time. Mr. Speaker, I rise today in support of H.R. 4405, the Women's Business Centers Improvements Act. Mr. Speaker, I thank my colleague, Representative Davids, for sponsoring this bill…

For our economy to continue growing, workers need technical skills, the right training, and education funding. Workforce development is a bipartisan goal, strongly supported by both employers and employees. Small businesses, manufacturers…

I would agree. You go out and do all this education, training. Put years and years of work to prepare to treat patients and then you go to do the work and you have to ask permission every step of the way.
