“Mr. Speaker, I rise in support of the Coast Guard Authorization Act of 2024. My district of south Jersey is an official Coast Guard community. We are deeply proud to be the home of the United States Coast Guard Training Center Cape May. The vast majority of all recruits are trained right there. This legislation includes historic levels of funding for the training center. It unlocks over $200 million in authorities that will build Cape May into a world-class facility through new barracks, indoor training, shooting ranges, and more. This is a strong bill for south Jersey. It is a strong bill for the Coast Guard. It is a strong bill for the United States of America. Mr. Speaker, I urge swift passage of this legislation, and I thank the committee chairman and ranking member and the subcommittee chairman and ranking member, as well.”
