"This isn't a partisan issue--it affects every sector of the economy, and workers of all ages with all types of families."

"I look forward to this hearing today as the beginning of what I hope will be a robust bipartisan conversation that soon leads to a national paid leave solution."

"America's need for paid leave is well-established and clear--and need doesn't distinguish by political party, or family type, or care need."

"Thank you, Mr. Chairman and Mr. Ranking Member, for holding this hearing, and for your bipartisan leadership in drafting this bill, the America's Water Infrastructure Act of 2018."
