Political Quotes

“I thank the gentleman for yielding and for his leadership in shepherding this legislation forward. I rise today in strong support of the rule, as well as the underlying spending agreement. This spending agreement was the product of bipartisan negotiation with Democrats and Republicans in the Senate. I thank Speaker Pelosi, Chairwoman DeLauro, and all of the members of the House Democratic Caucus for their leadership in helping to make sure that this bill includes strong democratic priorities. This legislation invests in children and families; invests in education and job training; invests in the creation and preservation of affordable housing; invests in hardworking Americans and organized labor; invests in research and development; invests in transportation and infrastructure; invests in technology and innovation; and invests in the health, safety, and well-being of the American people. This legislation reflects Democratic values. Democrats in the new year will continue to fight for lower costs, better paying jobs, and safer communities, and Democrats will always put people over politics. Happy holidays and happy new year.”
