I strongly oppose this administration's decision to include a citizenship question on the 2020 census.

I want to follow up, Dr. Jarmin. Given the significance of the 2020 census and how important it is that we count everyone accurately, can you review again for me what data or information did the census rely on to come up with this proposal?

I personally feel offended that part of that citizenship question asks the following: were you born in the United States?

I hope to work with the Chairman and others to prevent these problems from occurring by precluding the Census Bureau from moving forward with this wrongheaded proposal.

This latest action will undermine efforts to build trust and participation in the census in my hometown and elsewhere, which in turn will undermine census accuracy, but also distort the important functions that we use this information for…

And so it is a matter of choices. And I would hope that we can continue the conversation so I can encourage you or persuade you to understand the value of these programs.

this action would not only damage critical programs that Americans rely on, it would undermine the entire appropriations process

once again the Trump administration is proposing to eliminate funding for the Regional Coastal Resilience Grant program.
