The Bipartisan Infrastructure Law is indeed working.

Building in America, having my hometown, my friends and neighbors build things, is not only important for our progress, our economy, our hope, our future, it is a big deal.

This Bipartisan Infrastructure Law is incredibly important to our State, our economy, and our safety.

What is the one thing that the administration could do to move the Buy America, Build America process along?

Congresswoman Scholten, thank you for that question. As you have pointed out, there are things that it will take companies some time to move forward with.

Thank you, Chairman Webster. Thank you, Rear Admiral Phillips. And thank you, Mr. Maffei, for your incredible testimony today and answering our questions.

I stand before you to talk about two topics: The confirmation of Judge Jackson, as well as the Restaurant Revitalization Fund. Judge Jackson is more qualified than the people with whom she will serve, and she is not soft on crime. It is…

I hereby remove my name as cosponsor of H.R. 6181. The SPEAKER pro tempore (Ms. Manning). The gentlewoman's request is accepted. ____________________

It is why I led a letter to the Defense Approps [Appropriations] Committee urging Congress to raise base pay for service members.

Service members and their families make sacrifices every day, and we must do everything to ensure that their experience while they are serving is a good one.

I was particularly troubled to note that on the same day Navy affirmed to their families that the water was safe to drink that Navy closed the Red Hill drinking well.

And, Mr. Chairman, I want to thank you for your leadership in holding this important hearing today.

Railroad expansion in the United States has historically depended upon discriminatory practices.

In closing, Madam Speaker, I urge all of my colleagues to support this amendment that benefits all of us regardless of our political affiliation. This is a bipartisan bill, it deserves our support as well as the amendment, and I yield back…

The need for Federal investment in high-speed rail is clear, with the potential to create thousands of railroad and manufacturing jobs.

High-speed rail is a key ingredient in fulfilling that vision--a vision of a region full of economic opportunity for all.

We have a strong foundation to build on with support from the Governors of Washington and Oregon as well as the Premier of British Columbia.

This project can serve as a model for how high-speed rail can help a region grow affordably and sustainably.

High-speed rail can provide the physical manifestation of the three things the Seattle Metro Chamber, our region, and this country, are laser-focused on: innovation, green jobs, and economic recovery.

As a former mayor and a former board member of a transit agency, I know how critical it is that transit systems can survive the pandemic, but also expand service, and this is a conversation about equity as well.

To that end, we must focus on building an equitable labor force to support this important work.

Approximately 2,000 businesses in Washington State provide support to the military and defense sector including suppliers for depots like Puget Sound Naval Shipyard.

Definitely. We know that hate crimes against Asian-Americans have increased about 150 percent in most cities. And you know, I have friends who tell me stories of standing in line at the grocery store and having people say, you know, you're…

Traffic safety enforcement is top of mind for many of my constituents at home, and not only does this testimony presented clearly lay out the disparities that exist nationwide, but its disastrous effects makes our lives unsafe when we…

I want to close by emphasizing that in the wake of a global pandemic, our Tribal communities need federal investment now more than ever.
