We must honor that obligation by providing the best benefits, the best education, the best health care possible.

First let me say I certainly want to join my colleague, Congressman Steve Stivers, in thanking Congressman Bilirakis and Congressman Walz for all of their work in allowing us to make this possible to be here today. Mr. Speaker, I am…

Today, I come to the people's House floor in strong opposition to the Ryan-McConnell billionaires-first tax plan, a plan that overwhelmingly benefits the superrich and well-connected, and scams the middle class and our most vulnerable…

Today, House Republicans will move one step closer to giving a budget-busting $2 trillion tax cut to the superwealthy on the backs of hardworking Americans, one step closer to increasing taxes on vulnerable Americans, one step closer to…

I believe one of the ways we can really get companies to focus on cybersecurity is to put in place a system where there is a monetary penalty for each person's data that is breached.

So should we be looking at legislation to make that number more in line with today's cost of living?

I find that appalling that they are ignoring a request to come before this committee.

That is simply unacceptable.

This is not a partisan issue. This is not about Democrats.

So I want to know how you are going to continue that, improve that, so maybe when you come back and your expert team might have some females sitting behind you or people of color.

I come to the floor today to express my opposition to the newest TrumpCare bill that will result in 21 million fewer Americans having healthcare insurance. Once again, Senate Republicans, like House Republicans, are rushing to pass a…

This was in part the brainchild of someone we all know who served so well in World War II, the legendary astronaut, former U.S. Senator from Ohio, John Glenn, a dear friend of mine, and who was also a constituent.

I join Mr. Stivers not only in mentioning and talking about all the great work that the Colonel Tom Moe has done, but also with us I want to recognize Guy Worley and Amy Taylor, who are the project managers for the museum and they are here…

I come to the House floor today in support of National Housing Week of Action and to stand up for a better deal for hardworking Americans. Access to affordable housing directly impacts the ability of Americans to have a better job, better…

I thank my colleague, Congresswoman Karen Bass of California, for her relentless work, and also my colleagues on the other side of the aisle, including Congressman Chris Smith, for working on this. Mr. Speaker, today is a historic day. I…

I have to be that voice for Black people and for minorities who get caught in the gap.

Thank you, because we introduced the Beatty rule after the Rooney rule, and now we have a Black man for the first time, Chairman Bostic out of Atlanta, who is on the National Federal Reserve Board.

We cannot talk about income equality without looking at the disparities and the discrepancies in household wealth among African Americans and minorities.

I want to thank her for that, and I am going to start with common ground.

I thank Ranking Member Waters for yielding me time. I stand here and I join my colleagues in opposition to the Financial CHOICE Act. It is the wrong act. And let me just say this to you: Certainly, it does not provide choice nor does it…
