The pandemic has put enormous strain on our local FSA offices.

I want to thank you, Mr. Chairman, Ranking Member. This is an incredibly important issue that I am looking forward to addressing with the Committee.

We have to get these offices opened back up. This Committee has a constitutional duty to do oversight.

Farmers and ranchers really are a part of the climate solution, and they have contributed so much to the progress we have already made as a country

I am opposed to D.C. statehood, but I am not opposed to suffrage. If your goal is truly suffrage rather than increasing Democratic control of the Senate, boy, do I have a plan for you. My bill would reunite the residential areas of the…

We want to get America connected.

We need to create a common floor of expectation across all jurisdictions across every county to have certain expectations.

The Republican Party conservative, they need to understand that the policies that they have in place are failed policies, they have yet to enlarge attempt to attract more people.

This is not about intent. This is about impact. This is about the outcome. And we`ve fought for so many years to ensure that voting was made accessible to all citizens, but particularly African-Americans.

It is unfathomable to think that they`re constantly trying to compare Georgia with other states when in fact, we`re talking about Georgia, a state with a long history of suppressing votes.

If section five of the Voting Rights was in place, none of this could even be possible.

I would call out Sara Nelson, I think, for her very good testimony, trying to balance the needs of that critical infrastructure with public safety.

I think we all know too well that there are chapters in our nation's history particularly related to race that are not a source of pride...

My friend, Mike Tobin, is retiring. Mike and I met through LifeQuest, which serves people with developmental disabilities. Mike has been on the board and he receives support from LifeQuest. Now, he is a Minnesota Twins and a Kansas…

Why isn't the Chief of the Forest Service in Congress everyday pounding on your desk, asking for help in giving the Forest Service some room to deal with the devastation.

Our National Forest's future is in your hands, please help.

I cry for the forest[,] the trees and streams and the horrible deaths suffered by the wildlife and our cattle.
