Enough is enough, and we need to make sure that we're getting our kids the education that they need, and we don't need to have that politics as a part of that.
I personally believe that there is a common-ground approach to this that a lot of Americans understand.
I also believe that many of us agree that there is no one-size-fits-all solution across this country and that states and local communities should be able to make these decisions.
When I talk to the people in my district, what they want to know is about capabilities, and they really don't want to just see this kind of blame game between different parts of our government.
I don't appreciate this notion that Federal taxpayers are bailing out states like mine.
Science should drive decisionmaking on safely reopening schools. Public health agencies must make recommendations based on evidence, not politics.
It's the American people's stockpile, and they deserve to know what has been done to keep them safe.
I'm very concerned about the Trump administration's failures when it comes to providing personal protective equipment and medical supplies that our communities need to keep safe.

I want to thank the Committee for the opportunity to participate in today's Member Day hearing and to testify on behalf of New Jersey's Third District.
We should continue to focus on investing in and improving our nation's water infrastructure to help communities like mine, which are not alone in the struggle with clean drinking water.
It is a top priority of mine to ensure that the coastal communities in my district are prepared not just for the next superstorm, but also for the daily flooding that plagues houses along Barnegat Bay.
I introduced the bipartisan VA Overpayment Accountability Act with Congressman French Hill because sometimes, our veterans do not receive the best.
America's veterans deserve America's best. They deserve the best health care and the best government service.
While this sounds like a reasonable tradeoff, it begs the question of what sort of investments will be made, by whom, and what will be prioritized to ensure economic growth, prosperity, and job growth in the near and long-term?
