Statements For the Record
Mr. Speaker, I rise in opposition to H.R. 22, the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility Act, or the SAVE Act, which does nothing to protect voting rights.
Ms. Speaker, I voted in opposition to H.R. 1048 because, if enacted as written, it would place burdensome, duplicative, and potentially harmful requirements upon our nation’s institutions of higher education, without significantly improving our national security.
Mr. Speaker, the Republican’s Reckless Budget Scheme is back on the House floor today, proposing the same devastating cuts to our families and communities in exchange for massive tax breaks for Elon Musk, President Trump, and their billionaire buddies.
I am joining every Democrat in the House and Senate in opposing this resolution.

Mr. Speaker, I rise to pay tribute to the life of an iconic figure in the world of wildlife photography, Jim Brandenburg. Jim passed away at home in Minnesota on April 4, 2025, at the age of 79. He is survived by his spouse, Judy, daughter Heidi and her husband Nels Pierson, and grandchildren Olivia, Liam, and Lindsey.
Madam Speaker, I rise to pay tribute to the life of an extraordinary man, cherished community member and dedicated veteran, Mr. Gordon Willis Kirk, affectionately known as “Gordy.” Gordy passed away on March 2, 2025, just three weeks shy of his 102nd birthday.
Mr. Speaker, in the last election, then-candidate Trump ran on lowering costs for American families. He owned the issue on the campaign trail, and he won.
Mr. Speaker, on the morning of February 24, 2025, I was attending the University of Minnesota’s National Security Research & Innovation Day in my district, and the flight I took back to Washington, D.C. was delayed departing from Minnesota. This resulted in my absence from the House during three suspension votes on February 24. Had I been present, I would have voted AYE on H.R.
