Floor Speeches
Arrington spoke on the floor 30 times on 26 session days in the 119th Congress.
- House, July 22, 2026, 2,927 wordsConcurrent Resolution on the Budget for Fiscal Year 2027
The American people suffered through 4 years of lawlessness, incompetence, and habitual failure under Joe Biden and Democratic leadership, one self-inflicted disaster after another: border chaos, rampant crime, feckless foreign policy, spending-induced inflation that we haven't seen in a half a century, a crushing cost-of- living crisis, and the worst regressive tax on working families in this country.
That Day on the FloorRead in the Record ↗ - House, June 9, 2026, 2,544 wordsSecure America Act
Pursuant to House Resolution 1345, I call up the bill (S. 2) to provide for reconciliation pursuant to title II of S. Con. Res. 33, and ask for its immediate consideration.
That Day on the FloorRead in the Record ↗ - House, April 29, 2026, 2,951 wordsConcurrent Resolution on the Budget for Fiscal Year 2026
Pursuant to House Resolution 1224, I call up the concurrent resolution (S. Con. Res. 33) setting forth the congressional budget for the United States Government for fiscal year 2026 and setting forth the appropriate budgetary levels for fiscal years 2027 through 2035, and ask for its immediate consideration.
That Day on the FloorRead in the Record ↗ - House, March 18, 2026, 448 wordsProposing an Amendment to the Constitution of the United States Requiring a Balanced Budget for the Federal Government
I thank my good friend and classmate from Arizona for yielding.
That Day on the FloorRead in the Record ↗ - House, February 11, 2026, 202 wordsVeterans Accessibility Advisory Committee Act of 2025
There is not a better example of political expediency than my Democrat colleagues opposing a voter ID law on the grounds of States' rights.
That Day on the FloorRead in the Record ↗ - House, February 11, 2026, 524 wordsRelating to a National Emergency by the President on February 1, 2025
The Democrats fought Republicans to require voter ID to protect the integrity of our elections, the cornerstone of our democratic Republic. Now they stand here today on the floor of the people's house, fighting the President in his effort to protect the lives of the American people against what is the most imminent threat and the number one cause of accidental deaths and drug overdoses.
That Day on the FloorRead in the Record ↗ - House, February 4, 2026, 217 wordsSupporting Safety Net Services
Well, first of all, Mr. Speaker, my Democratic colleagues--maybe not all of them, but what I just heard--gave a complete mischaracterization of the program integrity measures that Republicans put in the big, beautiful bill. While the fraud, waste, and abuse is on display for all Americans, not only in Minnesota, but all across this country, we find it unacceptable.
That Day on the FloorRead in the Record ↗ - House, February 4, 2026, 253 wordsHonoring J.L. Stevens on His 100th Birthday
I rise today to honor a true west Texas giant and American hero, Mr. J.L. Stevens of Big Spring, USA, a World War II veteran who just turned 100 years old this past week. He is a living monument to the grit, courage, quiet humility, and service that define both west Texas and America's Greatest Generation.
That Day on the FloorRead in the Record ↗ - House, January 8, 2026, 446 wordsBreaking the Gridlock Act
My friend from Massachusetts talked about not seeing the Republican bill. There was a bipartisan provision in there that would lower premiums by 11 percent per the Congressional Budget Office, the nonpartisan budget office. This is a provision that the Democrats all supported. They know we have to make the ObamaCare market work. It doesn't work today.
That Day on the FloorRead in the Record ↗ - House, December 17, 2025, 333 wordsLower Health Care Premiums for All Americans Act
Republicans are bringing forward reforms that will actually lower the cost of care. According to CBO, which is the gold standard for my Democratic colleagues, it will reduce premiums by 11 percent.
