Eddie Bernice Johnson: “Community colleges have an important role to play in preparing students for highly technical jobs upon graduation.”

He is among the most influential Speakers in the history of the House of Representatives.

He understood that the business of legislating and good politics required great skill in the art of compromise.

Last month, I introduced and withdrew an amendment, at the request of Chairman Lucas, that incapsulates my legitimate concerns on the disparate impacts AI technologies have on people that look like me.

Mr. Speaker, I rise today with great pleasure to pay tribute to the life and legacy of former Speaker of the House James "Jim" Wright, who passed away on Wednesday, May 6, at the age of 92.
