As I said, we support this bill strongly here. This is a critical priority for us to make sure Americans continue to have safety and feel confident in their system. Mr. Speaker, I urge passage of the bill, and I yield back the balance of…
I am grateful for all the eloquent comments made by all the Members who spoke on the bill. This is vitally important, and I think it bears repeating that having opportunities for people to understand, to learn about the past, and to give…
We need to be prepared to ensure that Congress, our democracy can function in the face of all of the disasters.
All Americans deserve representation as quickly as possible, even in emergency situations.
I am glad we are holding this hearing today and look forward to a productive discussion.
If Congress fails to enact a sufficient continuity plan, the American people will be left wondering why...
The status quo also creates a perverse incentive for political violence through targeted killings designed to switch the majority party in the House.
I am convinced that there are both constitutional and operational insufficiencies with the status quo.
I am grateful to my colleague and friend, Congressman Brad Wenstrup, for serving on our first panel today.
I have introduced, along with Congressman Wenstrup, a bipartisan constitutional amendment to ensure the continuity of Congress.
Those ballots--we are 10 days from the deadline for States to send out those ballots to our men and women in uniform, and this deadline is a meaningful reminder of our duty as Members to protect the right of all servicemembers.

As you indicated, July 4, 2026, we will celebrate our semiquincentennial, and I want to thank my staff for phonetically placing that before me so I would not stumble over it.
It pains me, as I am sure it does you, Mr. Chair, and all the Members, that antisemitism in the United States has increased significantly.
It is essential that we guarantee every American, we have talked about that at length today, no matter our opinion, we believe every member of our Armed Forces should be able to cast a ballot.
It is a common-sense update to the UOCAVA to ensure that our overseas servicemembers can participate in our democracy.
It is an important bill, championed by my friend and colleague Maxwell Frost of Florida as well as a number of Members on this Committee.
The historic levels of antisemitism have to be addressed. This is one way to do that in a thoughtful way and move this commission forward.
Simply that I appreciate you bringing it forward, and look forward to supporting it.
I am, as others are, deeply committed to protecting the integrity of our campaign finance system.
