G. K. Butterfield

Secretary Granholm is leading our country, she is leading the Department in the right direction.

For decades, publicly funded research has laid the foundation for the treatments and cures patients use today.

I introduced H.R. 1730, the Speeding Therapy Access Today, or the STAT Act, with my Rare Disease Caucus cochair and good friend, G.K. Butterfield.

my priority would be for us to work to find ways to really improve the confidence in our elections by working to appropriately clean up the lists.

Equity must be part of our approach to electric vehicles.

I am concerned that, when it comes to electric vehicle charging, rural communities may again be left behind.

Over 95 percent of rare diseases do not have any treatment at all.

It isn't right that someone in our country should have to choose between food and medicine.

95 percent of rare diseases will not have a treatment. Colleagues, let's redouble our efforts.

I could guarantee passage if my Republican friends would just work with us, not just throw one-liners at us but just work with us.

Thank you for your leadership. It has been nothing less than stellar.

There must be meaningful representation in your companies to design your products and services in ways that work for all Americans.

In my view your companies have contributed to the spread of race-based extremism and voter suppression.

I hope that, if we introduce this legislation, you will not oppose it.

History has shown that you have talked the talk but have failed to walk the walk.

the Congressional Black Caucus has said to you over and over again we need greater diversity among your workforce from the top to the bottom, and we need for you to publish the data so the world can see it.

The CLEAN Future Act creates a $250-million-per-year loan and grant program for solar installation in low-income and underserved communities.

I believe that 600,000 North Carolinians who would gain coverage and access to quality healthcare under expansion are reasons enough.

They have failed to expand Medicaid despite the Federal Government picking up the majority of the cost.

I pray that we see the day very soon when these 12 States will expand Medicaid.

Do the math. North Carolina could reinvest the remaining $1.2 billion of new Federal funds in critical State programs.

It is so critical to reducing variance to broadband deployment.

Qualified broadband providers are being discouraged. They are being discouraged from participating in FCC programs that could expand broadband access into these underserved and unserved communities.

I introduced the Expanding Opportunities for Broadband Deployment Act, a bill that would retire this unnecessary restriction.

This is a debate that we must have if we are going to protect this democracy.
