Congressman Al Green Introduces Several Pieces of Legislation at the Start of the 114th Congress

Statement

After being sworn in for his sixth term on January 6, 2015, Congressman Al Green (TX-09) swiftly began introducing legislation to address some of the challenges facing our nation.

"As the 114th Congress convenes, too many in our great nation still face economic and social uncertainty. We must rededicate ourselves to the preservation and continued achievement of positive progress," Congressman Al Green said. "I will continue to work with my colleagues from both sides of the aisle to pass and author meaningful, substantive legislation that can begin to address our lingering economic as well as social uncertainty. We must also work to preserve and improve legislation such as the Affordable Care Act, as well as the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform legislation. Eviscerating and emasculating such legislation will not further our economic recovery or assist the least in our society in their pursuit of the American Dream."
