The Public Record
Howard Dean is a prominent figure in the Democratic Party, best known for his tenure as the Governor of Vermont from 1991 to 2003. During his time in office, he focused on healthcare reform, environmental issues, and fiscal responsibility, earning a reputation for his progressive policies. Dean played a significant role in the national political landscape as the chair of the Democratic National Committee from 2005 to 2009, where he was instrumental in the party's grassroots organizing efforts and the development of the '50-state strategy' aimed at increasing Democratic presence across the country.
I thank Chairwoman Waters and Representative Wagner for their support for this important legislation. I rise in support of my bill, H.R. 7981, the Public and Federally Assisted Housing Fire Safety Act. This bipartisan legislation, which…
The real problem is Manchin won’t pass anything, although apparently today, he’s yielded a little bit on that.
I thank Chairman Pallone for his work and that of his committee. I thank Representative Carter, and I especially thank Representative Armstrong for working alongside me on the SECURE Notarization Act, H.R. 3962. The SECURE Notarization Act…
Also, I thank my colleagues from Pennsylvania, including Senator Casey, who has introduced the identical legislation in the Senate. Finally, I thank Chairwoman Waters, and her staff, for their guidance and support in crafting this…
He’s got to get young people to the polls, and that’s the issue that will motivate them.
It has been nearly a month since the Supreme Court inexplicably overturned a woman's 50-year right to her private reproductive healthcare decisions--abortion care. In this month, we have heard many on the other side spread frightening…
We all feel horror, sadness, and anger as we learn more about the horrific shooting in Uvalde, Texas, and the police officers' lack of response. I wondered, what were they afraid of? One part of the answer is clear: semiautomatic weapons…
Roe became law when I was 13. For my entire adult life, the right to abortion care--to privacy and the freedom to make my own family planning and healthcare decisions--was guaranteed in all 50 States. It sickens me that it is not the case…
The issue and why Georgia is so important from a political point of view it's a critical swing state and there's a Senate seat up that could be a potentially quite competitive that the Democrats need to win. I think we are going to win it.
You cannot call the secretary of state and say, find me 11,700 votes, and expect that not to be the subject of a grand jury inquiry and most likely a trial.
I don't think it's a done deal at all. And I have no idea what his calculation is. But, you know, we won in Georgia, particularly, in the Senate because of Donald Trump. Because there were a number of Republican women, moderate Republican…
Mike Lee is in trouble in Utah because there is a young independent out there who’s moderate and he was endorsed by the Democrats but he’s not a Democrat.
I think the guy is a crook. I grew up in New York. He’s never done an honest thing in his life.
I warned that Donald Trump could win the election. In fact, he even called me up to -- for whatever reason. I don`t return calls from people like that so I never returned his call. This time, I would prefer to face Donald Trump than any…
People -- the reason Raphael Warnock and Jon Ossoff are in the Senate today are because of Donald Trump.
Herschel Walker is now trailing Raphael Warnock in Georgia by single digits but it’s getting bigger.
I thank the chairman for yielding time. Like many of you, I am struggling as we see day after day, night after night, more lives lost to gun violence in America. On Sunday, a 15-year-old boy was killed and three other people shot in a mass…
On Thursday, May 26, an explosion erupted in the tight-knit community of Pottstown, Pennsylvania, destroying two homes and, tragically, killing five people, a grandmother and four of her grandchildren, and also seriously injuring their…
Do we not hear the cries of the fourth grader in Uvalde who said, ``All of my friends are dead''? Would you like to do something about gun slaughter in this country? Then join us. One commonsense way we can do this is by passing my friend…
It is said that a civilized society that can no longer feel outrage can no longer be civilized. Ten people slaughtered in their grocery store. Nineteen children and two teachers massacred in their school, only to have parents who had…
You`re not voting about the individual right to bear arms, there`s plenty of arms that people can bear.
The power remains among the public. The politicians are not going to fix this. And I -- you know, if they can do some things, that`s great, that`s better than nothing.
There is no other country on earth that allows this and there is no other country on earth which loses as many children’s lives because its citizens and its politicians are unwilling to do anything about it.
Politicians like Howard Dean
