Statements For the Record
Ms. McCollum: Mr. Speaker, I rise in support of H.Res.771, the bipartisan resolution condemning the heinous October 7 terrorist attacks by Hamas that have resulted in the senseless deaths of Israelis, Palestinians, and more than 30 American citizens. Hundreds remain missing and many are held hostage – including women, children, and even infants.
Mr. Speaker, I rise in strong opposition of H.R. 4665, Department of State, Foreign Operations, and Related Programs Appropriations Act , 2024.
Mr. Speaker, I rise in opposition to H.R. 4368, the Republican FY24 Agriculture, Rural Development, Food and Drug Administration, and Related Agencies Act.
Mr. Speaker, I rise in opposition to H.R. 4367, the Republican FY24 Department of Homeland Security Act.
Mr. Speaker, I rise today to commemorate two anniversary celebrations: This month, District Energy of Saint Paul will mark its 40th anniversary and their subsidiary Ever-Green Energy will mark its 25th year of providing heating and cooling to downtown Saint Paul and the nearby West Side neighborhood.
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.
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.
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.
