I thank Ms. Wasserman Schultz for her incredible leadership at this very hard time. Mr. Speaker, on October 7, we witnessed the most horrific, gruesome, terrifying attack on Israel in its history. Thousands of Hamas terrorists invaded…

Once again, extreme Republicans are doubling down on their out-of-touch attacks on women as they renew their march toward a national abortion ban. Today, they brought to the floor bills called the Pregnant Students' Rights Act and the…

We were able to include authorization of the necessary funds for project completion in the 2022 WRDA.

I want to first thank the committee for their work on WRDA 2022.

This is an exciting and important opportunity to help rural communities access critical loans and long-term, stable funding for water infrastructure.

These loans are invaluable resources that allow local governments to meet the infrastructure needs of their respective communities at an affordable rate.

Thank you for that work.

Please consider us partners to deliver a farm bill through the House and into law.

I want to ask you to consider several priorities for the New Democrat Coalition.

As a pediatrician, I understand that sometimes competing concerns about making sure that children who are food insecure get enough good-quality food to eat at school, and at the same time making sure those meals do not contribute to our…

This bipartisan bill would invest in hazardous fuels management by increasing the pace and scale of prescribed burns.

This bipartisan bill establishes a National Biochar Research Network to test the impact of biochar across various soil types.

This bipartisan bill would allow the Secretary of Agriculture to waive the Specialty Crops Research Initiative matching funds requirement.

This bipartisan bill would codify and authorize the RNGR program with its own budget line item and funding.

I am here today to speak about the epidemic of gun violence that continues to plague our country. In fact, gun violence is now the leading cause of death for children. As a pediatrician, I understand that we have to look at this as a…

I first thank Chair Rogers, Ranking Member Pallone, Representative Bilirakis, and, of course, Representative Pence, who sponsored this bill together with me, for their leadership and hard work on this bipartisan bill. I am a proud sponsor…

Finally, I would like to thank Congressman Strickland for being an original co-sponsor of this legislation.

It is up to us--all of us in this room today--to ensure that student veterans receive the assistance they need so that no one gets left behind.

Our veterans have rightfully earned their GI Bill benefits and they should rightfully be restored when bad actors have targeted our vets to make a profit off of them.

This means that over 3 1/2 million veterans exposed to toxic substances during their service will get the healthcare that they deserve.

I firmly believe that if you devoted your life to serving our country, then it is our responsibility to make sure you receive the best service and care possible.

I think that you are absolutely right. We have heard from many of our small, rural hospitals that are so grateful for this program, because out of everywhere, I think, the 340B savings in rural communities has really provided a lifeline…

When there is consolidation, there is no competition, prices go up, and care potentially can go down.

Let's work together on physician reimbursement. I know the community, and all of us at some point will really appreciate that.

I would like to pay tribute to my chief of staff, Erin O'Quinn. Erin and I met just a week after I was elected to Congress. This was in November 2018. It was an overwhelming time. There was a lot to organize, and job number one was to find…
