Unequal pay for unequal work--for equal work exists over a spectrum of jobs, regardless of educational level, regardless of geographic location.

My priority is women's empowerment and the elevation of women's voices and concerns.

We know when women succeed, America succeeds.

Guaranteeing that men and women receive equal pay for equal work is a principle rooted in our Nation's commitment to equality and fairness.

A part of what ObamaCare was designed to address was the fact that premiums were going up very quickly before.

Every time we mess with the Affordable Care Act...we are making premiums go up.

Ending the cost-sharing reductions...certainly increased the cost for premiums.

If my friends on the other side are so committed to the protection of the preexisting conditions waiver...

We took those low-cost young people out of the health insurance pool.

I received an email Friday night from a young lawyer I know in northern Virginia. I met him last year when he had just hung out his shingle for a solo practice. He was desperate. His one big client is a Federal Government contractor who…

My Northern Virginia district includes more Federal workers--almost 87,000--than any other, and my people are suffering. This week we entered the second month of a shutdown which President Trump began by rejecting a Republican bill which…

I demand a recorded vote. A recorded vote was ordered. The SPEAKER pro tempore. Pursuant to clause 8 of rule XX, this 15- minute vote on passage of the bill will be followed by a 5-minute vote on the Speaker's approval of the Journal, if…

Our clean air, the public health should not be jeopardized in order to protect any business, large or small.

Having been born and raised in Puerto Rico, I want to see affordable, reliable, and sustainable energy available to the whole island.

I have an amendment at the desk. The Acting CHAIR. The Clerk will designate the amendment. The text of the amendment is as follows: Page 138, beginning on line 1, strike section 430. The Acting CHAIR. Pursuant to House Resolution 996, the…

Neither of the amendments that I offer tonight have much to do with the appropriations we are addressing. They are not about specific budget provisions, although I very much enjoyed listening to the many amendments tonight and am impressed…

My amendment would strike section 431, which repeals the current Clean Water Rule. Without this Clean Water Rule, the streams that supply public drinking water systems to one in three Americans will remain at risk. Mr. Chairman, everyone…

I certainly respect the opinion of the chair, but I do take issue with the notion that it is a misguided WOTUS rule. There were 1 million comments, 400 meetings, and I served on the Science, Space, and Technology Committee and National…
