Veronica Escobar: “I would like to understand that more.”

This Committee is unfortunately focused on things that don't matter to the everyday American.

I regrettably could not be present today to vote on the Floor proceedings before the House. Had I been present, I would have voted: NO on Roll Call No. 276, NO on Roll Call No. 277, YEA on Roll Call 278, and NO on Roll Call No. 279…

I look forward to the day that this Committee actually produces good work that the American people expect us to address.

I first want to also express my profound condolences to each and every one of you who've suffered loss.
