On the recordFebruary 20, 2025
Madam President, I urge my colleagues to oppose this amendment. Here is why: They are putting the blame in the wrong place. We all agree the housing prices have skyrocketed over the last 4 years. Unfortunately, my colleagues across the aisle aren't interested in new solutions. They are willing to place the blame anywhere except where it belongs. The real culprit in the failed housing policies is the Biden administration. Under the previous administration, rental costs rose 20 percent. We should be discussing how to make housing more affordable for more Americans. I plan to do just that at the Banking Housing and Urban Development Committee. I urge my colleagues to work with me. Working with President Trump and Secretary Turner, we can achieve a housing comeback for the blue- collar workers. I urge my colleagues to reject this amendment. Vote on Amendment No. 473
