I thank the gentleman from Louisiana, my dear friend. I am honored to be here and to stand with you and so many of my colleagues who believe, like we in west Texas believe unquestionably and unequivocally, that life is sacred, and it is a…
I think the way my colleagues are approaching it on the Democrat side is just too extreme, it's too radical, it's too abrupt, it's going to be too costly.
With respect to the rule and bills, if someone were to devise a plan to intentionally destroy the great State of Texas, they would do the following: They would sabotage their sovereignty by opening its borders and granting amnesty and…
I thank my friend from Louisiana for yielding. Madam Speaker, COVID was the excuse to bail out blue States poorly managed and union pensions poorly managed. Our current recession has been the excuse to pay people more to be on unemployment…
To comment on my Democrat colleague's comments that they are just trying to build America back better, nobody in the United States of America in their right mind believes that what is happening in this country--the disastrous economic…
Aside from the insulting disregard for our national debt for our children and grandchildren, this is the greatest threat. It is not the existential threats. It is our insatiable appetite to expand the government, government's power, and…
Last week west Texas witnessed an unspeakable tragedy. One of Lubbock County's true heroes, Sergeant Josh Bartlett, lost his life in the line of duty. Our hearts are heavy with grief for the Bartlett family, and our prayers are with them…
I oppose this resolution. Mr. Speaker, I think it is in a long line of attacks from a hostile administration, and some of my Democratic colleagues, against oil and gas, conventional fuels, which has blessed our country with a safe…
One issue of immediate importance to farmers in my district, is the need to extend the Wildfire Hurricane Indemnity Program (WHIP) to cover 2020 and 2021 losses.
It is critical Congress consistently provides our producers access to the personnel and safety nets they need.
As a former Member of the House Agriculture Committee, I know firsthand the important role of this Committee and the responsibility you have to support our nation's farmers and ranchers.
I believe life is a gift from God, begins at conception, and that unborn children have the same right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness as you and I do. Nothing gives me more joy or sense of purpose than being a champion for…
I thank my fellow Texan, Representative Fallon, for the opportunity to speak. To my colleague, Judy Chu, I have enjoyed working with her and serving with her on the Ways and Means Committee, and I have respect for her. Let me be clear…
It is an honor to congratulate my friend, Eddie McBride, on 23 outstanding years at the Lubbock Chamber of Commerce. Eddie has served as the president and CEO of the Lubbock Chamber since 1999. Under his leadership, the Lubbock Chamber has…
I do not have to be Black to be concerned about the disparity, the gap in wealth for my fellow Americans who happen to be Black, or of any color.
Well said. Thank you so much, Chairman, for your indulgence, and again to the witnesses. Thank you guys, and God Bless.
The B-21 is the future. It is the most powerful, most capable, most lethal bomber that the world will ever see.
Let's make sure that the desires and the plans of the Air Force to make them more lethal...I think that is wise.
We have to make sure that we have...the 32 combat-coded B-1s, that they are in fact PMAI [primary mission aircraft inventory], they are combat-ready.
I am from the great State of Texas, and there is nothing great about the crisis at our border. It is unprecedented. It is unmitigated. It is ever-escalating. It is absolutely, absolutely self-inflicted and avoidable. Because of the actions…
It makes no sense at all. In fact, Madam Speaker, it is insulting. We care about people. This country does more for the immigrant than any in the world. We welcome those who want to make America their home, those God-fearing…
Why would President Biden, with the stroke of a pen, in the middle of one of the worst recessions and economic recoveries, destroy thousands of good-paying pipeline jobs and the livelihoods and future of hardworking American families…
I was unavoidably detained. Had I been present, I would have voted ``yea'' on rollcall No. 101. members recorded pursuant to house resolution 8, 117th congress Allred (Wexton) Babin (Nehls) Cardenas (Gomez) Crenshaw (Nehls) Greene (GA)…
My priority for this 117th Congress, Mr. Chairman, is for H.R. 1608, the Ports-to-Plains Highway Act of 2021, to be included in the upcoming surface transportation reauthorization bill.
This area, this swath of the heartland represents over 70 percent of production, ag, and energy.
