"The January 6th riot and insurrection perpetrators are not, sadly, part of an insignificant minority. Whether actors have been 'lone wolves' or conspiring and acting in groups, this is a growing and metastasizing blight on our society. We, as Members of Congress, all personally experienced the January 6th insurrection, and we owe it not only to the people of our country, but to the democratic institutions in which we serve to ensure such an event never happens again."
"Many have been forced to consider new careers because the jobs they had prior to the pandemic no longer exist. That is why I am so encouraged that you and President Biden have made it a priority to invest in American jobs. That means investing in workforce development, including sector-based training, apprenticeship programs, and partnerships between institutions of higher education and employers."
"This past year has been difficult for so many. The Coast Guard, in particular, has shown once again to be a resilient force in protecting our Nation."
“Thousands of families and children in my home state alone are either homeless or seriously housing insecure, unsure if they will have a roof over their head next month. And the COVID-19 pandemic has only exacerbated this issue and put our nation’s most vulnerable populations, such as our disabled, nonwhite, and Native American populations, at increased risk. When individuals experience housing instability, they are at greater risk of contracting COVID. This makes our entire country less safe.”
"The unmet needs in our communities are immense and require us to think boldly about the future of housing in our country. Housing plays a central role in stabilizing communities and creating pathways to homeownership and wealth—it’s hard to keep good health, achieve positive educational outcomes, or reach economic potential without a safe, decent, and affordable place to live."
