We are here today because towns like Little Rock, Arkansas, should get every single opportunity to partake in the innovation economy.

I completely resist that. I think there has to be a State pathway so that we protect our dual-tier banking system.

I think it is outstanding that you highlight that as the appropriate role for the government.

Today, too many young people are taught not to take a risk.

I was very pleased to hear you say that government should not be the catalyst for these innovations, but it should lead the way in quality of life.

I always tell people in Nebraska that we raise the gold that the rest of America wants to hire as a CEO.

I thank the chairman for yielding. Madam Speaker, I rise in support of S.J. Res. 32 providing congressional disapproval of the CFPB's Small Business Collection Rule. I am a businessman myself, and I am proud to say that I have made a…

The second bill I want to bring to your attention is called the VALID Act. It, too, is bipartisan and bicameral, and it focuses on housing affordability specifically for our nation's veterans.

Representative Flood and I introduced the bipartisan, bicameral, Yes In My Backyard Act (YIMBY Act), which has been referred to your committee.

I rise this morning to address the growing threat of Delta 8 across communities in Nebraska. For anyone who may not be following this issue yet, Delta 8 is a variant of THC and is derived from cannabis. Today, retailers across Nebraska are…

Had I been present, I would have voted ``yea'' on rollcall No. 560. ____________________

Can you commit to me here today that your agency will not enforce against Federal student loan servicers for providing service levels commensurate to their compensation?

The decisions by this Administration to politicize the student loan program through extended unnecessary pauses in pursuit of illegal loan forgiveness has harmed borrowers, and has resulted in a confluence of events that all but guarantees…

I have more than 3,000 student loan servicer employees in my district. When the FSA decides to cut rates, they are jeopardizing jobs in my district.

Thank you, Madam Chairwoman. Director Chopra, thanks for your testimony today.

I thank the gentlewoman from Missouri for yielding. Mr. Speaker, the Equal Opportunity for All Investors Act of 2023 will give Americans new opportunities to grow their wealth and savings. I also thank Chairman McHenry, Chairwoman Wagner…

The debt limit debate is a study in contrasts between responsible Republicans and dysfunctional Democrats. On one side, you have responsible Republicans who have been working from the beginning to avoid default and reduce out-of-control…

I am hopeful that we can take serious steps on this and lead because the United States needs to lead here, not just for our country, but for the world.

I am also deeply concerned that this clearly-political decision will lead to a future pattern of using the FHFA to make future decisions based on the same principles.

This fee assessment is a violation of that basic sense of fairness, and they should be upset.

We need to understand where we are at, and how these things work.

We need a way of clarifying when and where our current regulators should have jurisdiction over the existing market.

There is simply no way that the digital assets ecosystem within the United States will survive without some kind of action from Congress to combat the regulatory deluge we have seen in the past few months.
