House Democrats Put People Over Politics

Floor Speech

BREAK IN TRANSCRIPT

Ms. BARRAGAN. Mr. Speaker, as MAGA Republicans work overtime to attack the reproductive rights of women, launch sham impeachments, and give tax breaks to big corporations, House Democrats are listening to working families.

House Democrats continue to work for lower costs and grow the middle class. House Democrats passed the Inflation Reduction Act to lower drug prices and the jobs and infrastructure law to rebuild our roads and bridges.

House Republicans show up at ribbon cutting ceremonies to take credit for infrastructure projects in their districts, even though they voted against the infrastructure law. Some Republicans try to hide the fact that they voted against the very bill they are claiming credit for by saying, when asked, that they don't remember how they voted.

While Republicans continue their hypocrisy, Democrats are hard at work to lower costs for childcare, high-speed internet, and energy.

House Democrats will continue to put people over politics to deliver for everyday Americans.
