I am dedicated to increasing minority entrepreneurship, especially Black entrepreneurship.

Frankly, if we do nothing, I think we are guilty of whatever happens down the road.

Our community remains devastated.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman, for inviting me to participate in this critical field hearing.

I appreciate HUD's effort to respond to the fatal fires in my congressional district in Philadelphia, and Mr. Torres' leadership that he has taken not just in his particular district but for what is occurring.

We need to move, and we need to move quickly, and that is one of the reasons I think this legislation that the President has put before us is extremely important.

Thank you for what you have done and I thank my co-leaders in terms of this particular issue.

I am very supportive of the Restaurant Revitalization Fund. For months I have been hearing from restaurants in my district about the need to pass the bill which will provide $120 billion for grants to restaurants.

Thank you, Madam Chair, for your leadership, especially on this subject and staying relentless on this subject.

the response on the PPP program has been equally unacceptable.
