Political Quotes

On the recordJanuary 29, 2024
Today I rise to support Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries and declare this Congress a Republican do-nothing Congress of epic proportions. House Republicans continue to focus on chaos, dysfunction, and extremism. They continue to put politics and personal profit over the needs of the American people. Democrats help Americans. Thanks to President Biden's leadership, wages and the stock market are up; inflation and gas prices are down. Also, in the last 4 years, the Biden administration has created 14 million new jobs and supported a record-setting number of American businesses. House Democrats want to work with Republicans to solve issues, such as protecting our border and Social Security. We are ready to get to work with our colleagues across the aisle. Hopefully we can build something together. ____________________
