Political Quotes

On the recordMay 25, 2023
Today, ahead of Memorial Day, I am thinking about the 49,000 veterans in my district whose VA benefits hang in the balance due to the risk of debt default. It is incredibly disappointing that we would leave Washington before this important holiday without resolving the default crisis. Our veterans who have given so much deserve much better than this. They deserve our unwavering dedication and commitment not just in words but in action. They don't deserve partisan political games. As we prepare to honor the memory of those who made the ultimate sacrifice, let's also honor the veterans still with us by staying true to our duty. Let's remember the debt we owe to them and the responsibility that we bear. Madam Speaker, I urge my colleagues to get back to work and prioritize the needs of our veterans. Let's stay. Let's get to work. Let's find a solution. ____________________
