Political Quotes

On the recordJune 11, 2025
On May 22, I missed rollcall vote No. 277, passage of H. J. Res 88. Had I been present, I would have voted no. Overturning California's Clean Air Act waivers is a climate setback of massive proportions that will delay much-needed actions to abate climate chaos. By expanding the scope of the Congressional Review Act to accomplish this, the Senate has created a new process to undermine the ability of States to innovate and invites politicization and corruption of routine administrative actions.
