Statements For the Record

Mr. Speaker, I stand today in solidarity with the working men and women of America.

In Wisconsin, Ohio, and here in Congress, workers rights are under attack by union busting politicians.

Statements For the Record

Mr. Chairman, my amendment ends tens of millions of taxpayer dollars from being wasted on the sponsorships of NASCAR race cars by the Department of Defense.
