House Democrats have collectively shown an impenetrable commitment to the people of sub-Saharan Africa and Haiti.
I can speak confidently for House Democrats when I say we are firmly committed to reauthorization of AGOA and HOPE before their expiration next year.
I have 190 days left in Congress, so I have been spending time on issues that bring people together rather than divide them.
But reauthorizing the programs without improving them is a missed opportunity.
