Press Releases

Washington, D.C. – Speaker Nancy Pelosi held her weekly press conference today in the Capitol Visitor Center. Below are the Speaker's remarks:

Speaker Pelosi. Good morning, everyone. Since last we were together, the jobs report came out, which was historic and good news. It was overwhelming. As you may have been aware, when we met last Thursday, the anticipation was that perhaps it would be a much lower figure or even in the negative column. And it turned out to be nearly half a million jobs created and an upgrade to the jobs of previous months, giving President Biden the highest rate of job creation and reduction of unemployment practically in history. And again, a tribute to him, to our policies, and a tribute to the private sector, which created many of these jobs – working together with public and private.

Dear Democratic Colleague,

Today, I write to you with pride and appreciation for the House Democrats' overwhelming support of the America COMPETES Act of 2022. This critical legislation will bolster American independence and self-sufficiency in manufacturing and innovation, while positioning American interests and values to win the 21st Century. This legislation is also needed to contain inflation, and it will do so by committing $45 billion to address the supply chain challenge, which is raising costs for America's working families.

Thank you both for bringing this important legislation – your determined leadership to have a bipartisan bill, which is really important. And doing so, again, in bipartisanship would make our Founders proud.
