On the recordOctober 8, 2015
I thank the gentlewoman from Connecticut for her eloquent and compelling words. Whenever she speaks up for the American people, she does so in such a convincing way and a way that is backed by empirical data, not just anecdotes and not just sort of dreams, but that which she already knows. So I appreciate and feel particularly honored to represent the Congressional Progressive Caucus here this evening to speak out on issues that we know are very important, vitally important, to the well- being of the American worker and our American families. I do pray that our congressional body can come together around an issue that affects all of us in any district that we might represent, in any corner of the United States of America, and at any economic strata that we might represent. With that, Mr. Speaker, I have no more speakers who want to address this issue this evening. I thank you for your indulgence. I yield back the balance of my time. ____________________
