Alma Adams: “I want to welcome everyone to the first hearing of the Work Force Protection Subcommittee and the 117th Congress.”

I introduced the Capital for Beginning Farmers and Ranchers Act of 2024 (H.R. 8598) with Representative Strickland.

I hope I make you proud, North Carolina.

The current sub-minimum wage with tipped employees perpetuates low pay, enables, inexcusable levels of wage theft, and it leads to higher poverty rates.

the work that you are doing is critical, from protecting our consumers to making sure that our financial regulators mirror the diversity of our nation, so thank you for your efforts.
