Graduation rates are low, honestly embarrassingly low.

I thank the gentleman from Ohio for yielding. Mr. Speaker, I rise today in opposition to H.R. 8 as well as H.R. 1446. There is not a single Member in this Chamber who does not mourn the innocent lives lost to gun violence, but I solemnly…

Our southern border is in crisis. President Biden has been dodging the crisis they caused at our southern border, calling it a challenge, not a crisis. They have opened our borders but, at the same time, kept our schools closed. The…

Thanks to Operation Warp Speed, we now have a pathway out of the pandemic using anti-COVID vaccines, but I want to share some more good news. A new study published in the New England Journal of Medicine shows that just one dose of the…

Several organizations oppose this bill. I urge my colleagues on both sides to oppose H.R. 1 and support the Republican alternative, the Save Democracy Act. This is about our elections. This is what makes the United States different from…

Ever since President Biden has taken office, he has been laser-focused on overturning every great initiative from the previous administration, regardless of how good it was for the American people. Today, I want to shed light on President…

Today I would like to bring attention to a troubling assessment that was issued by the National Counterintelligence and Security Center on Monday. China continues to aggressively seek to acquire Americans' genetic information. They have…

Today I would like to address the crippling cost of student debt. Although my Democratic colleagues and I agree substantially on the issue, we disagree substantially on the solution. We need to cure the disease, not just put a Band-Aid on…

I would like to call attention to the only bill subject to a rule this week in the House of Representatives, the Marijuana Opportunity Reinvestment and Expungement Act. Mr. Speaker, millions of Americans are unemployed right now due to…

This past Wednesday, we recognized Veterans Day. It is most appropriate that we set aside a day each year to thank the brave men and women in our Armed Forces who have selflessly sacrificed so much for our great Nation. For more than two…

I would like to reach out today to the thousands of Americans who have opened their homes to the gift of adoption. Giving a child a home and a better life is one of the greatest gifts we can give. I especially want to applaud Judge Amy…

I thank Mr. Roe for yielding, and thank him for gathering everyone together. Mr. Speaker, I will give a summary here this evening. Since the end of January, the world has been attacked essentially by a virus that none of us can see. I will…

Whether we like it or not, every day the Communist Government of China seeks the downfall of our great Nation. Since 2000, there have been well over 100 documented cases of Chinese espionage in the United States. Many of these have come…

As August approaches, reopening schools is now at the forefront of the American agenda. The American Academy of Pediatrics strongly advocates that we should start with a goal of having students back physically in the classroom. As an…

Today I rise in opposition to H.R. 51. Voting against this legislation is not an economic, racial, or a social injustice, as my colleagues across the aisle may unfairly claim. I have no doubt that my Democratic friends, just like…

As a Member of Congress, I have spoken with constituents, business owners, and community leaders over the last few weeks who are apprehensive about their health and financial security. As a practicing physician, I have spoken with numerous…

Last Sunday, March 8, Gunnery Sergeant Diego Pongo and Captain Moises Navas made the ultimate sacrifice while serving their country in north-central Iraq. Both were marines and assigned to the 2nd Marine Raider Battalion, Marine Forces…

As a North Carolinian and member of the Science, Space, and Technology Committee, I take great joy today in rising to recognize United States astronaut Christina Koch. Christina grew up in eastern North Carolina in Jacksonville and…

I would like to bring awareness today to a challenge that most Americans face every day with the high cost of their prescribed medications. Since 2010, the practicing cost of drugs in the United States has risen by close to 10 percent per…

Yesterday I proudly announced my first piece of legislation as a Member of Congress, H.R. 5037. Of course, every bill that goes through this great legislative body is important, but I think it is fair to say that every Member's first bill…

It is an honor to serve beside Mr. Davis. Mr. Chairman, I rise today with my adamant opposition to H.R. 4617, otherwise known as the SHIELD Act. I think my Republican colleagues would agree that this bill is misleading at best and should…

Today I rise in opposition to the unfair and unprecedented process that is being used by my colleagues across the aisle to smear the duly elected President of the United States and make a mockery of American justice. Since the day he was…

I speak this morning on our Nation's security. Over 200-plus years ago, brave men and women literally sacrificed their lives to create a nation that was based upon freedom. That has now continued, and we have today a nation of laws. And…

I thank all the Members of the North Carolina delegation for making me feel so much at home. I thank all the Members for the warm welcome. Just a moment of thanks: I would like to thank my God for giving me the opportunity of life and the…

Mrs. Jennings, I'm not mad at you....The fact of the matter is, nobody has ever been there for you when you needed it.
