“I actually, myself, personally, would become eligible for the tax credit. I would only become eligible for it if the House bill passed. I did not ask for it. I am not asking for it. I do not need it, but I have constituents in my district who are asking me for it. They do need it. I do not have a rich district. I do not have a wealthy district. I have a lower- to lower-middle-class district, and they are asking for this assistance. Today I rise in support of these working families and of their children and of similar families all across this country from New York City to California, from the State of Maine to Florida and Texas. Today, I rise in support of African American and Latino families in my district and across this Nation as well. Today I rise in support of our military families who are serving our country while trying to provide for a better life for their children. The Republican child tax credit package hurts all of those groups.”
