Floor Speeches
Castor spoke on the floor 33 times on 24 session days in the 119th Congress.
- House, September 15, 2026, 856 wordsRatepayer Protection Act
I rise in support of my bill, the Ratepayer Protection Act. I am proud to lead this bipartisan bill with Congressman Evans to protect my neighbors from unfairly paying for the energy needs of large AI data centers.
That Day on the FloorRead in the Record β - House, June 29, 2026, 623 wordsKids Internet and Digital Safety Act
This is a very important step forward to protect our kids online. I really arrived here more as a parent than a Member of Congress, watching two daughters grow up at a time when the internet and social media was evolving, and I just understood from a very personal level what was happening.
That Day on the FloorRead in the Record β - House, June 29, 2026, 303 wordsEnergy Emergency Leadership Act
It is becoming increasingly obvious that our energy system faces numerous threats, whether it is from skyrocketing demand, climate change, or cyberattacks, and it is undeniable that our systems need support to continue delivering reliable and affordable power for Americans.
That Day on the FloorRead in the Record β - House, June 29, 2026, 301 wordsRural and Municipal Utility Cybersecurity Act
H.R. 7266, the Rural and Municipal Utility Cybersecurity Act, sponsored by the gentlewoman from Virginia (Ms. McClellan) and the gentlewoman from Iowa (Mrs. Miller-Meeks), reauthorizes a critical program from the bipartisan infrastructure law. This initiative is designed to aid municipal utilities, rural electric cooperatives, and small investor-owned utilities.
That Day on the FloorRead in the Record β - House, June 29, 2026, 467 wordsEnergy Threat Analysis Center Act of 2026
I thank Chairman Guthrie and colleagues on both sides of the aisle for moving forward H.R. 7305, the Energy Threat Analysis Center Act of 2026.
That Day on the FloorRead in the Record β - House, April 22, 2026, 987 wordsReliable Federal Infrastructure Act
I rise in opposition to H.R. 4690. This is a dirty and costly bill for Republicans to bring to the floor of the House on Earth Day. It would be funny if the cost of living was not so soul-crushingly expensive for families and small business owners back home.
That Day on the FloorRead in the Record β - House, February 25, 2026, 793 wordsHomeowner Energy Freedom Act
I rise in strong opposition to H.R. 4758. It is a bill that is going to sock it to the pocketbooks of our hardworking neighbors back home. Republicans appear to be doing everything they can to stick their heads in the sand when it comes to the affordability squeeze.
That Day on the FloorRead in the Record β - House, February 24, 2026, 1,304 words(1420) Don'T Mess With My Home Appliances Act
I rise in opposition to H.R. 4626. I thank the ranking member for yielding time.
That Day on the FloorRead in the Record β - House, February 11, 2026, 1,219 wordsSecuring America's Critical Minerals Supply Act
I rise in opposition to H.R. 3617. I wish we were here discussing how we could lower the cost of living. I wish in the Energy and Commerce Committee, where we are controlling the time, we could discuss a bill that will lower electricity prices for our neighbors back home. Or even as the title of this bill suggests, it is related to critical minerals, but when you read the bill, Mr.
That Day on the FloorRead in the Record β - House, January 9, 2026, 1,305 wordsAffordable Housing Over Mandating Efficiency Standards Act
I thank the gentleman from New Jersey for yielding the time.
