Congress should enact legislation to ensure equitable treatment of individuals experiencing homelessness through the response and recovery effort.

Congress should also require FEMA, HUD, and other federal agencies involved in disaster recovery efforts to work together and create a single, universal application for aid to make the process easier, quicker, and more flexible, reducing…

Under the Trump administration, there was an order 'one in, two out.' If you made a new regulation, you had to get rid of two existing regulations.

I said repeatedly in this committee that that was not a good system, especially in aviation.

I strongly condemn the use of military strikes against civilian population centers throughout the country.

We are the fastest warming community in the country. I think you called it aridification.

I represent the heart of the Las Vegas Valley. We have over 2 million people there and 40 million tourists coming every year, so the water in the Colorado River that goes to supply us is a very important issue.

I think we have a lot to learn from our European neighbors about how to develop this source of energy.

We have seen where outdated regulations really discriminate against women, minorities often.

We have certainly seen a number of people rotate in and out of that position over the last 4 years.

I appreciate a commitment to try to work with me to be sure that we get the full funding.

H.R. 539 ensures that at the very least, disaster victims don't pay the price for FEMA's errors.

Survivors who have lost literally everything should not have to go through a rigmarole to try to prove eligibility for often meager FEMA assistance.

The apparent inconsistencies and inequities for disaster survivors seeking help are frustrating.

I look forward to hearing how Administrator Criswell and her team plan to convert the priorities in the President Biden's Fiscal Year 2022 budget request into measurable improvements in FEMA's administration of emergency assistance…

We must build back better, not continue to make the same mistakes because it may be easier or cheaper in the short-term.

While the agency has accomplished much since March 2020--including helping state, local, tribal, and territorial partners fully vaccinate more than one hundred and fifty million Americans since January of this year--many of the problems…

We would just hate to see those cut. So, I hope that Congress can find a way to restore some of those dollars.

I would like to echo the sentiments of some of the others on this committee and say how relieved and reassured we are to have you in this position, especially after the parade of incompetents who have been before this committee over the…

Folks from there, and Honduras especially, are concerned because they are just on hold.

It is harder and harder for us to maybe set the example for how elections should run.
