Political Quotes

“I am proud to speak in support of H.R. 3700, the Housing Opportunity Through Modernization Act, sponsored by Representatives Luetkemeyer and Cleaver. This extremely bipartisan bill makes a number of critical reforms to our Federal housing programs. These programs will streamline processes and create much-needed efficiencies for government and, most importantly, our consumers. I am happy to see the bill moving so quickly because it will solve a number of problems low-income Americans continue to face in acquiring safe and affordable housing. This legislation would make commonsense changes to the Department of Housing and Urban Development in order to lighten administrative burdens for housing agencies and owners to assist low-income individuals and families to live in greater dignity. It is very encouraging to see the bipartisan work that has been done on this bill. I commend both Chairman Luetkemeyer and Ranking Member Cleaver of the Housing and Insurance Subcommittee. I thank Chairman Luetkemeyer for allowing me to speak on this bill. I urge my colleagues to vote in favor of H.R. 3700.”
