I urge my colleagues on the other side of the aisle to take Republican amendments into serious consideration, and provide common sense, bipartisan relief to main street.

We need to prioritize these small businesses that are struggling and ensure that no money goes to terrorists or people that want to harm America or her citizens.

Democrats claim to be interested in solving America's small business issues with bipartisan solutions, when in reality the left is attempting to use that false narrative as a back door to enact their own Bernie Sanders Socialist wish list.

This legislative package also fails to address the fraud in the SBA programs.

The tax increases in this bill will hurt millions of small businesses and stifle future investments.

I wish I could say I was rising in support of this legislation but, again, we are being asked to vote on a bill that represents a missed opportunity on the backs of our constituents. I am pleased I was able to secure needed improvement for…

The American entrepreneur, not this administration's checkbook, is our country's greatest asset.

Small businesses can lead this recovery but they must be given the opportunity to do so in their own way.

Small businesses are the lifeblood of the American economy. They spur innovation, provide the majority of jobs, and keep America's uniquely entrepreneurial spirit thriving.

The Biden administration seems relentless in its attempt to destroy small businesses.

My amendment would fix an ongoing problem that I see back home and in other areas of the country which highlights the need for local control to be able to fix local problems. One example is U.S. Highway 75, just across my district line in…

I ran for Congress, like many of my colleagues, to make change, to represent my district well, and to work hard with my colleagues in a bipartisan way to deliver the solutions that the American people expect from us. Unfortunately, we are…

On that I demand the yeas and nays. The SPEAKER pro tempore. Pursuant to section 3(s) of House Resolution 8, the yeas and nays are ordered. Pursuant to clause 8 of rule XX, further proceedings on this question are postponed. Amendments En…

There are very few issues that we work on that have such an impact on every single person's daily life as an infrastructure bill. It is what moves people. It is what moves goods. That is why we need a bill that makes us globally…

How much time is remaining? The SPEAKER pro tempore. The gentlewoman has 2\1/2\ minutes remaining.

While I appreciate the gentleman's comments on increasing traffic and increasing congestion, what I would remind him is that this is going to be looked at by local elected officials. And if those local elected officials deem that this is…

I have an amendment at the desk. The SPEAKER pro tempore. The Clerk will designate the amendment. The text of the amendment is as follows: Page 705, after line 3, insert the following: SEC. 1640. HOV FACILITY REVIEW. Section 166 of title…

I was unavoidably detained. Had I been present, I would have voted ``nay'' on rollcall No. 184. MEMBERS RECORDED PURSUANT TO HOUSE RESOLUTION 8, 117TH CONGRESS Aderholt (Moolenaar) Amodei (Balderson) Beatty (Clark (MA)) Buchanan (Walorski)…

I am deeply concerned that the CMMC has created yet another hurdle to keep small businesses from competing in the defense marketplace.

I am concerned that the critical information about CMMC is being conveyed in a conflicting and potentially informal manner.

Adding stringent cybersecurity requirements will be a costly endeavor for small businesses that are already recovering from a pandemic.

the longer you are in politics, the harder it is because, you know, supporters come and go, enemies accumulate.

the fact is, is that every 2 years, it is very tribal, and it is one side against another side, and it is very--it is a team.

Being a freshman is tough. Being a freshman in minority is even tougher.
