Statement
"Examining the management challenges facing the Department of Transportation and the Department of Housing and Urban Development helps this subcommittee make informed decisions about how we invest resources. Whether it is aging IT infrastructure, a shrinking workforce, or private sector development outpacing Federal regulation, DOT and HUD require effective oversight and fine-tuning."

Statement
"People depend on these programs, which is why I must mention how deeply concerned I am over some extreme House Republican calls for massive spending cuts and even more extreme calls by Republican officials to eliminate so many of the programs that keep families healthy, safe, and prosperous. These cuts would be devastating to children, families, seniors, and veterans. We should be doing everything we can to increase access to these programs, not cutting off vital services to the people who need them."

"To maintain our technological superiority in the air and space domain, it is as important as ever to educate and train the next generation of mathematicians, physicists, aeronautical engineers, and of course, computer scientists.

Press Release
Based on information the House Appropriations Committee received from agency leaders in the Biden Administration, House Republicans’ reported proposal to cut fiscal year 2024 discretionary spending back to the fiscal year 2022 enacted level—resulting in a cut of at least 22 percent for essential programs—would hurt seniors.

Statement
"The budget also includes robust funding for our election infrastructure, including the election assistance commission that I helped establish through the Help America Vote Act. These HAVA programs must receive the funding they need to ensure that our elections remain secure, accurate, and accessible. These provisions, like the rest of President Biden’s budget, would help set our nation up for success for generations to come. They stand in startling contrast to proposals we’ve heard recently to roll back federal appropriations to their fiscal year 2022 level."
