I think one of the things that we really see, as the data shows, is that, when we have strong elections, strong integrity in our elections, we actually see increased voter turnout.

I think states should be sovereign with regards to elections.

I look forward to working with the chairwoman and the whole of this committee as we continue to lean forward in making sure that the equal right to vote and access to the ballot box for all Americans is given.

I am proud to be the lead cosponsor or the lead sponsor and author of the John Robert Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act, a bill that would update and reinstate the full force of the Voting Rights Act of 1965, a law that protected voters…

I'm extremely disappointed and feel like it was an effort to evade questioning by this panel.

I was also proud to co-sponsor and vote for H.R. 4, the John R. Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act.

Last Congress I was proud to cosponsor and vote for H.R. 1, the For the People Act, which would have set national standards for voter access and required a host of pro-voter, pro-democracy reforms.

I'm proud to say that, in my home state of New York, we've made significant strides in recent years to improve and expand access to the ballot for every voter.

I think we have to compensate people well enough to justify at least giving back some of the sacrifice they are going to have to make.

I have the utmost respect and admiration for our colleagues who are testifying.

the STOCK Act has not gone far enough, and we need to accept that the STOCK Act has not yet achieved its mission.

To think that at the start of a once-in-a-generation global pandemic, lawmakers found time in their schedules to buy and sell stocks?
