I have always been able to work across the aisle. I have a reputation that shows my bipartisanship.
I will absolutely take it seriously. I know it is something important to you.
The cost of homelessness is just skyrocketing. It was bad before we ever addressed COVID.
I believe that just as Congress has chartered these GSEs, it is Congress' ultimate decision as to how they should be handled.
I am going to follow the law and follow the rules. You do not ever have to worry about that.
I absolutely do believe that counseling is a major part of assisting people, whether it is staying in their homes or continuing to pay their rent.
Our housing issues do not fit into a cookie-cutter mold, and I know that the same is true in each of your States.
The economic costs are in the trillions. It is an economic deterrent to not have people in housing.
The Trump administration made the moratorium as weak as possible--the order allows landlords to file eviction proceedings.
I thank President Biden for nominating me to serve as the 18th Secretary of Housing and Urban Development and will do everything possible to ensure that every American has a roof over their head.

We are going to win this election, the people are going to win the election, because we are going to exercise our right to vote no matter what obstacle you put in our way.
We need funding and earmarking for a more robust voter engagement and voter education program for boards of elections.

There are opportunities to improve their responsiveness to economic changes faced by farmers...
The Farmer-Driven Conservation Outcomes Act introduced by Representatives Fudge and Thompson (H.R. 6182)...
On Friday, we lost an honorable and decent woman, Justice Ginsburg, a person who changed the world. But for all her successes, those who are bent on choosing her successor have no decency. They have no honor. They have no integrity. It is…
I just have to say that, once again, my colleagues have put forth an amendment that does nothing to stop or to help with integrating schools. Absolutely nothing. They have had time after time after time to address this issue, even as…
May I inquire how much time remains. The SPEAKER pro tempore. The gentlewoman from Ohio has 6\1/4\ minutes remaining. The gentlewoman from North Carolina has 17\1/2\ minutes remaining.
