Political Quotes

“I thank Congressman Bowman for reminding us of our history, as well as the need. I am sure if Congresswoman Sheila Jackson Lee was at this microphone tonight, Congressman Torres, she would look to you and she would say, let's get this done. She would look to you and she would remind us that part of this bold action means we must use all of our available resources. She would remind us, in 2017, that the Republicans used the reconciliation process twice. Oh, how I remember how they used it against the Affordable Care Act. And how I remember that they used it not only for taking away American's healthcare, but a second time to pass the GOP tax scam of 2017, in giving more money to those in the top 1 percent. But, tonight, we have heard from the top of our leadership. We have heard from Members from across the United States. Now it gives me great pleasure to bring our last speaker to the podium. He is also our newest Member to Congress. He hails from the great State of Louisiana. He is someone who is no stranger to being an elected official. He is someone who has dedicated his life to serving the people. He has been successful. He is here in his own right, serving on the Transportation and Infrastructure Committee, as well as the Small Business Committee. Madam Speaker, it gives me great pleasure to yield to the gentleman from Louisiana (Mr. Carter), my colleague and friend.”
