• House, February 9, 2026, 3,474 wordsPaying Homage to the Black Men and Women of the Armed Forces

  I rise tonight to join with my colleagues in the Congressional Black Caucus to pay homage to the Black men and women of our Armed Forces whose service and sacrifices have far too often gone unrecognized and underappreciated. To make matters worse, they have often been denied their proper and well-deserved benefits as veterans who proudly served our Nation.

• House, February 3, 2026, 155 wordsConsolidated Appropriations Act, 2026

  As ranking member of the Transportation, Housing and Urban Development, and Related Agencies Subcommittee, I rise in strong support of this bipartisan legislation in large measure because it freezes funding for the Department of Homeland Security at its current level while allowing for several days, 10 to be exact, for us to continue to zero in on that segment of the legislation and hopefully reach a bipartisan agreement.

  I rise a proud South Carolina State University alumnus to congratulate its football team on their new title, the 2025 HBCU national champions.
