Lowering Costs to Americans

Floor Speech

BREAK IN TRANSCRIPT

Mr. OLSZEWSKI. Mr. Speaker, I rise tonight to remind this body that the American people elected all of us with one clear mandate, which was to lower costs.

We are now 32 days into this session of Congress. Sadly, we have not held a single vote, not even a committee hearing on legislation to lower costs for so many who are struggling at the grocery store and at the gas station. While we waste our time on partisan bills that do nothing to lower costs, Americans continue to struggle.

My constituents will see me and this tracker often until House leadership brings to this floor bills to vote on and pass that lower the cost of living for our families.

To that end, I have proudly added my name to a suite of bills that help achieve this commonsense goal, bills that strengthen and modernize the child and earned income tax credits, improve paid leave, and more.

These are the kinds of bills that should be bipartisan, and they should be our focus. Let's roll up our sleeves, and let's get to work.
