This week I was so proud to announce that $330 million from the American Rescue Plan is on its way to my district to keep frontline public workers on the payroll; that $50 million is coming to my district to help our colleges…

I am proud of the strides that local transportation stakeholders have made to bolster the road, bridge, and transit infrastructure.

I greatly appreciate the Committee's Member Designated Projects process this year.

These frontline workers, who contribute and sacrifice to keep us healthy, fed, and safe, deserve our support for projects.

Well, I thank you, Secretary Haaland.

People want to get out, they want to see the country.

We are incredibly excited in Pennsylvania that both your budget and the American Jobs Plan propose significant increases in funding for AML projects.

With crushing reclamation needs across the country and the AML fee set to expire on September 1 of this year, passing these bills and focusing on reclamation is an urgent priority.

There is no reason to wait. The need is there now, and the money is there now.

I am so thankful for him highlighting this need in both his skinny budget and the American Jobs Plan.

It calls for the Forest Service and the National Resources Conservation Service to promote the health and resilience of public and private lands.

My constituents and I value the forests in the region, and we want to ensure that the Forest Service has the funding necessary to carry out the important work of maintaining and managing our Nation's forest resources.

Many people don't realize Cornelia Pinchot was basically the leader of the suffragist movement in Pennsylvania.

I have introduced the Trash Act to help promote recycling so less unnecessary waste makes its way into my community.

I dare say you have got to know Don Williams, Eric's father, since then, and you are very familiar with this whole story.

Bipartisan legislation like the Built to Last Act...would ensure that standards-developing organizations that issue building codes have access to forward-looking meteorological information.

In December, this House passed a COVID-19 relief compromise, during which time we pledged to the American people that we would do more. Now is the time for us to deliver on that promise. The American Rescue Plan is that promise delivered…

I want to follow up on Mr. Womack's theme of nefarious people, Administrator Guzman.

I happen to agree with you that more funding is needed, and that is why I have called for the Restaurant Revitalization Fund to be replenished.

Fighting fraud is not a one-time deal. It is a continuing fight.

I spent the better part of this past year fighting to secure targeted relief for northeastern Pennsylvania independent restaurants.

Independent restaurants really are the cornerstone of communities across the country.

I agree with you that many, many investors do find it relevant, climate-related information with publicly traded companies.

I think it is important that we stay focused on that data being accurate, and then, do resource allocations that focus on the regions and leverage the knowledge of the local providers and the local leadership to get to that last mile.

Can you explain why you think you are still qualified to hold that position?
