Senators Bennet, Portman, and Brown literally just reintroduced the bipartisan Eviction Crisis Act.

Housing is the gateway to opportunity and to building a middle class, how too many families in our country are locked out of it.

It is really a new day in my entire career, and I am thrilled with this panel and the work that they are going to do for our country.

For the first time in memory, we finally have an administration that puts workers at the forefront, at the center of our trade policy.

I am so appreciative of Senator Wyden's work, Chairman Wyden's work.

Unlike previous trade agreements, USMCA passed with overwhelming bipartisan support.

We want to lift up women, communities of color, and rural America--people that have been systematically excluded or overlooked.

I had opposed the Trans-Pacific Partnership deal in 2015.

I will not take a full 5 minutes, because it is not my place.

The USMCA agreement is a good example of what can happen when labor is at the table.

Senator Portman and I passed bipartisan legislation through the full committee, the Level the Playing Field Act.

It was a 51 to 50 vote to pass the whole package. It was also a 50-51 vote when they tried to take it out.

They know the transit project that would revitalize a neglected neighborhood and bring new residents and customers to Main Street.

To attract good jobs we need more resources. We need homes that workers can afford and ways for them to get to work.

They know where lead pipes and lead paint are still poisoning kids today, in America in the year 2021.

The corporations that rely on our public goods to make their vast growing profits should contribute to that upkeep.

They want their town to be successful, they want their communities to grow and attract jobs.

They know where there are shovel-ready projects that would build new houses workers can actually afford.

The United States must not be left behind. We need to lead the way.
