The Build Back Better plan promotes global competitiveness by working to end the race to the bottom on corporate taxes.

The Biden Administration's Build Back Better plan will cut taxes for working families, help small businesses, and invest in America's long-term economic prosperity, while asking the wealthy and big corporations to pay their fair share.

Climate change is a threat not only to our planet, but also to the health of our economy.

Unfortunately, the upfront cost of investing in residential electrification technologies and appliances can be a significant obstacle for many families.

Electrifying homes and buildings is an important component of addressing the existential threat of climate change.

The last decade is quite likely the hottest the planet has been in the 125,000 years.

Climate change is a threat not only to our planet and our health but also to our economy.

To limit global warming and the expensive and life-threatening extreme weather events that come with it, we, as a Nation, must act now to aggressively move toward a zero-carbon economy.

I was encouraged to see President Biden's signing of an Executive Order just last week taking action on this very issue.

This bill is intended to reduce the vulnerability of coastal communities and infrastructure from the impacts of extreme weather events.

This bill aims to improve the ability of coastal communities to become resilient.

I have been proud to work across the aisle with my colleagues, including Congressman Wittman of Virginia, to create bipartisan solutions that can work for America's coastal communities.

Currently, there is insufficient federal attention to the necessary coastal research, resiliency, conservation, and restoration work that coastal communities need.

Yesterday's vote was disappointing, but it goes back to the fundamentally anti-democratic character of the filibuster, which is not included in our Constitution and never intended by our Founding Fathers.

if long-term economic growth is our goal, then closing the gender wage gap is not just a moral imperative, it is an economic one.

inheritance bequests account for more of the racial wealth gap than education, than household structure, or any other characteristic.

The persistence of the racial-wealth gap gets in the way of this promise.

With minimal or negative wealth, avenues of opportunity are too often closed--a problem that is perpetuated from one generation to the next.

Wealth, as we discussed today, is an enabler of opportunity.

Wealth makes it easier to pursue education, buy a car or a home, even to take a chance on an idea and start a business.

Wealth, and the accumulation of wealth, enables opportunity.

The U.S. is very fortunate. We have Moderna and Pfizer. The rest of the world: vaccine early and vaccinate often.

When talking about this bill, Rep. McMorris Rodgers recently said that 'dams and fish can co-exist.' I wholeheartedly agree.

Taking these options off the table before we've even studied their costs and benefits is misguided in my view.
