“Mr. Speaker, I come to the Floor today to mark World AIDS Day, and I do so in great pride in following my colleague, Congresswoman Joyce Beatty, who spoke on the Floor about the 60th anniversary of what happened in Montgomery."

“Each World AIDS Day, the international community reflects on our progress and reaffirms our determination to banish AIDS to the annals of history."

"Once again, the tragedy of gun violence has been visited on an American community. Our hearts are heavy with shock and grief for the families who lost loved ones in the senseless attack."

"We embrace the people of Mali as we unite in grieving lost loved ones, healing the wounded, and helping the survivors of this horrendous attack."

“On Transgender Day of Remembrance, we honor and remember all who were murdered simply because they were courageous enough to embrace their identity."

“Former Congressman Mike Michaud has long been a stalwart champion of America’s veterans, servicemembers and military families."

“One year ago, President Obama took bold, necessary action to bring our broken immigration system into line with our national interest and our values as Americans."

As you know, we are taking up a bill on the floor, in my view, that does not make us safer, does not honor our values, and does not have my support. We had a better option.
