Ultimately, rural America knows best how to invest in their communities.

One of my goals for today's hearing is to bring some of those strengths to light and dig deeper on how rural communities like the ones I and many others on this Committee represent.

Weakening the program will put producers in my district and across the country at a competitive disadvantage around the world.

I hope that you are committed to those biofuels, because they are part of the solution for climate change.

I just want to remind everyone that the issue here is the Federal takeover of elections. The statement that was made was about someone objecting to the certification and how that was somehow wrong. I just wanted to simply remind my…

I would like to remind my colleague from Massachusetts that I believe in 2016 he also objected to certification of the election. It doesn't always sound like that when he speaks about the objections. Madam Speaker, I yield 3 minutes to the…

This resolution states clearly that the right to vote is fundamental to democracy, and that legitimate elections are those which are safe from foreign interference, including illegal votes from foreigners. The resolution denounces the…

I agree with Mr. Cooper that liquid fuels are still here to stay, but because of that, biofuels will play an important role in reducing carbon emissions.

The Majority's push through the partisan $2 trillion package that picks the winners in EVs at the expense of my district's farmers and biofuels producers.

I think that we need to continue to make sure that we are recognizing and promoting the biofuels as something that is a part of our entire ag economy and part of that carbon emissions reductions.

Taking care of our rural communities and ensuring that they have what they need to thrive benefits the ag economy, but it also benefits the rest of the country.

I also would like to recognize Ranking Member Thompson for any opening comments he would like to make.

I am a little concerned about some of the efforts the Majority has that don't recognize that biofuels have been an important part of the role in reducing our greenhouse emissions.

Discussions of lower carbon emissions must include, and enhance, the use of biofuels.

Requiring banks and Federal credit unions to disclose personal details about their customers' accounts is an extreme invasion of privacy, and it would have terrible implications for community banks and credit unions in my district and…

With all respect to my colleague from Massachusetts, the fact still remains that when the minority leader did try to participate in this Commission, the Speaker rejected the two nominees that the minority leader had offered. Mr. Speaker, I…

I am prepared to close. Mr. McGOVERN. Mr. Speaker, I am prepared to close, and I reserve the balance of my time.

I continue to hear from my colleagues across the aisle this notion that debt limit votes are always bipartisan. I just want to point out again, however, that in the last 20 years there were five occasions where the party in power had to…

President Biden's failure to lead has resulted in a national security and humanitarian crisis in Afghanistan that we cannot ignore. Now the Taliban is back and the United States is less safe. The President has offered no specific plan for…

I urge the state to reconsider this harmful mandate.

Most of Minnesota is in extreme drought, and many of our farmers are facing a tremendous hardship. There are reports that herd culling is already being done around the region due to the lack of quality feed, and farmers will soon be forced…

I wanted to comment a little on the comments regarding the makeup of the select committee. Madam Speaker, it is my understanding that when Speaker Pelosi was asked if she could veto Republican picks for the select committee, Speaker Pelosi…

I will remind the gentleman from Mississippi that it was not this body that stopped the commission. It did not receive the required support from both sides of the aisle in the Senate to move forward. Madam Speaker, I yield 4 minutes to the…

I am kind of curious about state support that the schools are getting.

I look forward to continuing the dialogue and working with you to really come up with some great solutions for rural America.
