Mr. Speaker, I rise to pay tribute to a renowned Minnesota doctor who was taken from us much too soon. Dr. Charles Crutchfield III was just 62 years old when he passed, following a two and a half year battle with non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma. His death is a deep and profound loss for his family, Minnesota’s Black community, and our entire State.
Mr. Speaker, I rise to pay tribute to a Saint Paul firefighter who was taken from us much too soon. Captain Christopher Parsons was just 48 years old when he sustained a major medical event shortly after completing his shift and passed away late last week. His untimely passing is a deep and profound loss for his loved ones, fellow firefighters, and our entire City.
Mr. Speaker, I rise in opposition to H.R. 1615, the Gas Stove Protection and Freedom Act, and H.R. 1640, the Save Our Stoves Act. These bills are the latest Republican attempt to manufacture a crisis and reject commonsense rulemaking from the Biden administration. These bills are purposefully misleading and reject legitimate concerns about the threats gas stoves pose to our personal safety, public safety, and the energy efficiency of our homes.
