• House, September 2, 2026, 422 wordsProposing an Amendment to the Constitution of the United States to Require That the Supreme Court of the United States Be Composed of Nine Justices

• House, May 19, 2026, 492 wordsRising Costs of Healthcare

  I rise today to sound the alarm on skyrocketing healthcare costs in this country. Americans all across the country, including Georgia's Fourth Congressional District, are having a hard time and making very difficult decisions. They have to decide whether it is more important to pay for their groceries--and don't get me started on the cost of gas to go to work--or to provide their family with healthcare.

• House, February 12, 2026, 146 wordsLaw-Enforcement Innovate to De-Escalate Act

  I rise in opposition to this bill because it would make us less safe. Police already have access to less-than-lethal weapons like tasers. They don't need a change in the law. That is not an excuse for changing the law.

  I thank Representative McClellan for running point on this Special Order hour for the CBC. She is a legislative champion both in the State house and in the Federal House. It is good to be with her tonight, and I thank her for recognizing me.

  I thank the chairwoman for yielding time, and I thank the Congressional Black Caucus and the leadership of Yvette Clarke for hosting this Special Order hour to honor John Lewis, who was a one-of-a-kind public servant. He served humanity as a youth and as an adult, and he served we, the people, before and during his many years in elected office on the local and Federal levels of government.
