José E. Serrano: “I have had the privilege of having you before the subcommittee both as chairman of the committee, now as ranking member.”

Our arts and culture sector is a cornerstone of community life — enriching our neighborhoods, strengthening our economy and supporting the wellbeing of everyone who lives, visits and works here.

It is very hard around here, almost impossible to get a bipartisan bill passed with no opposition.

This year, we will hear from a bipartisan group of Members, all of whom will be asking for further investments by this subcommittee.

We will obviously be watching this closely in the upcoming months.
