Statements For the Record
Mr. Speaker, I rise in opposition to H.J.Res.44.
This resolution seeks to repeal reasonable restrictions on deadly weapons, at a time when gun violence is the leading cause of death for children and youth in the United States.
Mr. Speaker, I rise to address my vote against H.R. 3099, the Special Envoy for Abraham Accords Act.
Mr. Speaker, I rise to honor Peter L. Gove. Peter will be recognized later this week by his colleagues, friends, and family for his more than 50 years of exceptional leadership to conserve Minnesota's environment, especially its rivers and national parks.
Mr. Speaker, I rise in opposition to H.R. 467, the HALT Fentanyl Act.
Mr. Speaker, this bill is not a solution to the proliferation of Fentanyl Related Substances (FRS) in America. We need legislation that will actually save lives while stopping illicit drug sales.
Mr. Speaker, I rise in opposition to H.J. Res 45, a Congressional Review Act resolution that would overturn the pause on federal student loan payments and block President Biden’s student debt relief plan.
Mr. Speaker, I rise in opposition to S.J. Res. 11, the latest Republican attack on clean air protections.
Mr. Speaker, I rise in opposition to H. Con. Res. 40.
I want to start by thanking law enforcement for all the work they do to keep our communities safe. Officers consistently put their lives on the line. Each year during National Police Week, I place a poster outside of my office honoring Minnesota’s fallen Law Enforcement officers.
Mr. Speaker, I rise in opposition to H.R. 2.
For decades, the U.S. immigration system has needed to be fixed. Every step of the way, Republicans failed to work with Democrats on effective solutions, instead blocking meaningful reform efforts for the past 20 years. The crisis we face now is in large part because of that. H.R. 2 is not the solution.
Mr. Speaker, I rise in opposition to H.J. Res. 39. This resolution is another Republican attack on President Biden’s climate goals that will harm American jobs and existing domestic solar projects. This is an unnecessary rush to insert ourselves into agency rulemaking before Congress has the full picture.
Ms. McCOLLUM: Mr. Speaker, I rise in opposition to H.Res. 311.
All people deserve safety, justice, equality, human rights, and the right to self-determination. No child anywhere should go to bed at night fearing ongoing violence.
