I thank Chairman Chabot for hosting this important opportunity for us to come to the House floor to speak about our good friend, Steve LaTourette. Ohio has lost a great advocate and a public servant. And to Jennifer and to Mr. LaTourette's…

Credit repair would be someone who after you have completed 18 holes of golf says, Let me see your scorecard.

Well, we believe that in different credit segments, it would make access to credit more inclusive, fairer, and more responsible.

I think your initial observation is correct. There are layers and layers of regulations protecting consumers from any such behavior.

my concern is that the data is just not flowing because of the regulatory uncertainty.

Rent reporting is discussed in Congressmen Ellison and Fitzpatrick's bill.

I think that the bill before this committee does a very good job balancing the need to protect consumers and to promote competition, and enable innovation in the credit education space.

It is incredibly important, and it has been impactful.

Those are concerns. But there are layers of regulations in place already.

The status quo is a harm, that the 11 years that I have been coming here, each year, billions of dollars of wealth and assets are stripped from the credit invisible population because they can't access mainstream affordable credit.

The investigation by the FBI is steeped in political bias.

This evening I would like to honor a great Ohioan, former Congressman Del Latta. Mr. Latta served northwest Ohio from 1959 to 1989. During his thirty-year career he found himself at the center of history as he sat on the Judiciary…

You are speaking in front of a group that have been strong advocates for relieving sequestration that, of course, has been a scourge on our military.

I want to thank all my fellow members for attending.

Representative Stivers' question is a great passing of the baton in the work that I get to do next.

Because just hitting the number, as you just described, is not the only issue.

Thank you for your leadership, and thank you for giving us this insight.

It is both a game of advocacy and a game of whack-a-mole.

When we read our newspapers, we certainly know that the world is becoming a much less safe place. The conflicts around the world and the ability of our military to respond are incredibly important. But also, if you read the newspaper, you…

I am going to try to make some sense of this. We just had an amendment where we were debating providing the Authorization of Use of Military Force to the President, and we wanted to make certain that the President had the authority, and…
