Julie Su's Record of Failure

Floor Speech

BREAK IN TRANSCRIPT

Mr. McCORMICK. Mr. Speaker, I too have major concerns about this nomination.

Mr. Speaker, I rise today in opposition of President Biden's nominee for Secretary of Labor, Julie Su. America's labor secretary should defend both American workers and understand the economy which provides jobs, feeds families, and keeps our communities strong.

Unfortunately, Ms. Su oversaw and distributed about $32.6 billion in fraudulent unemployment claims paid out to death row inmates, international criminal syndicates, and other fraudsters. She has tried and failed to obscure this fact in front of the Senate Committee.

While she was doing this, Su also denied or delayed over 5 million legitimate unemployment insurance claims. She was also an architect and key enforcer in California law that effectively outlaws freelance work in California, destroying the livelihoods of thousands of families.

Our Nation's 1099 employees are just as important to this country as the liberal elite donors that are so set on destroying the American working class.

The facts are clear, President Biden should pick someone else to be his Labor Secretary.

I urge my colleagues in the United States Senate to stand with America's workers, to stand for American prosperity, and stand for a better nominee for the Department of Labor.
