FY22 will prove to be the most challenging year in recruiting history.

I am here today to lift up the voices of my community, to address an issue facing too many Pennsylvanians, as well as others across our country. I am here to talk about rising prices and inflation. When Sidney from Malvern tried to renew…

Last week, I held an in-person townhall to hear how inflation impacts our community. Too many Pennsylvanians are making tough choices to put food on the table, gas in their tanks, and other budgetary choices. Today, I rise to discuss why…

I do not believe that Russia's inability to easily dominate Ukraine will necessarily indicate to China that continuing their destabilization efforts is a bad idea.

As the 2022 tax filing season gets underway, I rise to draw attention to the issues that my constituents face when trying to navigate the IRS. James from Nottingham came to my office because his 2020 return was delayed for almost a year…

To address these challenges, I have worked across the aisle with my colleague, Representative Balderson, to introduce the Research Advancing Market Production (RAMP) for Innovators Act.

I believe this Committee must have an eye for consistently improving the SBIR and STTR programs, particularly when it comes to commercialization.

This is part of the history of this part of the world, that every generation or so, sadly, different autocrats and different dictators trounce over these people.

We may see increases in gas prices, if we haven`t already. We may see increases in food prices. But we are part of this war. We can do our part by understanding that that`s our contribution.

We should not underestimate the Russian military. There are many, many of them. And they far outnumber, in terms of their resources, the Ukrainian people.

If we hope to have democracy thrive in a European continent and in our -- on our continent and in the world in general, we have to understand that this is perilous to all of us at this point in time, and we need to be supportive of Ukraine…

These are real people who are under real stress, real peril. And they are a real democracy that needs defending, so that we can make sure that we keep democracies like that, keep the continent of Europe stable and secure.

I hope that my Republican allies, colleagues on the other side of the aisle will work together with the Democrats to make sure that we put together the mother of all sanctions packages.

The creative economy plays a really large role in my community, too, with 296 small businesses involved in the arts, entertainment, recreation within Pennsylvania's 6th Congressional District.

thank you so much for being here today and for your diligent work, Mr. Ware, to oversee SBA's unprecedented response to COVID and the COVID-19 pandemic.

I was really happy to see that the Biden Administration committed and restored funding to the UNFPA after the prior Administration ended its support.

Perhaps maybe there could be a federal emergency protection program similarly that parallels something like this.

I thank Chairwoman Velazquez and Ranking Member Luetkemeyer for the opportunity to support this bill. I rise in support of H.R. 4515, the Small Business Development Center Cyber Training Act, which increases the ability of Small Business…

I thank Representative Speier for yielding. It is a pleasure to be standing by her side and on the shoulders of so many powerful women who have gone before me and who have had this important conversation over and over and over again. It is…

I think this hearing has been very reflective of the complexity of small businesses in this country.

I am deeply, deeply appreciative of your service and of the decades of experience that you all bring to this conversation.

Thank you to everybody for joining us today for this hearing, a very important one, where we are focusing on shifting the power to local organizations and local actors in this space of foreign assistance and foreign aid.

I really want to pay tribute to you for having done the right thing in keeping people safe and healthy in their homes.

the support we received through Representative Houlahan's efforts to expedite the SVOG funds were critical for the survival of my company

I am very, very grateful to you for the narrative that you can share with us and the experience that you can share with us.
