Congresswoman Betty McCollum (MN-04) released the following statement today ahead of Monday's observance of Memorial Day:
Congresswoman Betty McCollum (MN-04) joined fellow Democrats on the House floor to demand the House Republican majority do their jobs and pay America’s bills.
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.
Congresswoman Betty McCollum (MN-04) and U.S. Senate Majority Whip Dick Durbin (D-IL) sent a letter to Commerce Secretary Gina Raimondo today requesting information on how the Biden administration will use the opportunity provided by implementation of the CHIPS and Science Act to research alternatives to per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) chemicals that have adverse effects on human health.
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.
Congresswoman Betty McCollum (MN-04) and Congresswoman Nancy Mace (SC-01) have introduced the Nonprofit SEAT Act (H.R. 3245) to strengthen the nonprofit sector and its relationship with the federal government. The legislation will improve access to data about the nonprofit sector, and leverage the mission, knowledge, and impact of thousands of nonprofits to work together more effectively in pursuit of shared goals.
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.
