I care deeply about those low- and middle-income investors in my district and across the country.

It is appalling the number of nominees that this Administration still has in State and other agencies that have not been confirmed by the Senate.

These atrocities, whether it is in Burma with Rohingya, the Kachin, Shan, and the Rakhine, are just horrific.
