Let me be clear: this bill is designed to make mining in America all but impossible, not easier.

A common theme we have heard in the contracting space is that prime contracting opportunities for small businesses are dwindling at an alarming rate.

I would be doing a disservice to the American people if I did not again discuss the damage inflicted on the livelihoods of Americans by Joe Biden's policymaking, or lack thereof.

The Administration must offer oil and gas lease sales both onshore and offshore.

Whenever we talk about investments in our infrastructure, we should be talking about the real infrastructure that ordinary Americans rely on: roads, bridges, broadband, ports, airports, and the like.

Without a properly trained and prepared workforce pipeline, our trades industry will continue to see a reduction of qualified talent for decades to come.

I think we need to, we are really looking for your leadership when you are in the meetings with President Biden and his cabinet to really support small businesses.

The strategic petroleum reserve really should be held for national emergencies, not failed policies.

As everyone well knows, small business owners, farmers and ranchers were very negatively impacted by the Obama era Waters of the United States, the Waters Rule.

Would it be your opinion that an additional regulatory burden on small businesses to the tune of $201 billion, is that good or bad for small business?

Unfortunately, the EPA is back to interpreting the Waters Rule and actually announced their intention to revise the Waters Rule and make it even worse.

The Trump administration rightfully chose to heed the concerns of these small entities and created the Navigable Waters Protection Rule.

As a law enforcement officer for over 23 years, I have had to make the devastating visit to unsuspecting family members to tell them that their loved one has died because a driver was driving under the influence. We can all sit here and…

While we can all agree that increasing contracting goals of the federal government, especially of the disadvantaged small businesses, it is a laudable goal, I think we need our agencies to be more transparent.

Jim Hagedorn loved his fiscal responsibility and I see my good friend Mr. Phillips down there.

He loved nothing more than serving the First District of Minnesota. He loved his small farmers and he loved his small business.

Government ought to get out of the way and let small businesses flourish under those prudent regulations.

I think we need more people that have signed the front of the checks in small businesses.

We have a responsibility to make sure small businesses across America succeed.

When Americans want to get back to work, it creates more red tape.

H.R. 2021, titled the Environment Justice For All Act and sponsored by Chairman Grijalva, truthfully is a legislative vehicle for more of the same from this Majority.
