"A lack of access to safe, decent, affordable housing can be a death sentence."

"As you know, I have legislation that would require self-closing doors in federally funded affordable housing developments."

"We know that if the self-closing door had been properly functioning at Twin Parks North West, the smoke would have been contained and countless lives would have been saved."
