What Chellie Pingree said, and what was done

“Mr. Speaker, I rise to honor the lives of Sandy and Ole Jaeger. Sandy and Ole met in Denmark in 1960 and were married for 65 years, many of which they spent in their home in Georgetown, Maine.”

“Mr. Speaker, I rise to recognize the leadership of Mary Rich as the Deputy Chief of New Gloucester Rescue. Across more than 32 years of dedicated public service, Mary has played a vital role in the success of the department and the safety of New Gloucester residents.”

“Mr. Chair, I thank my colleague for bringing up this amendment. The bill this amendment is based on has already passed the House by voice vote and now sits idly in the Senate.”

“Mr. Chairman, I thank the gentlewoman for both supporting this amendment, which I also supported, and speaking in favor of it. Pesticide preemption has received an extraordinary amount of attention in the past year, as is appropriate when the Federal Government considers overriding States' rights.”

“Mr. Chair, I thank the gentlewoman from South Carolina for introducing this amendment and wholeheartedly support it. An Office of Seafood will be an important resource for coordination across the aquaculture sector.”

“Mr. Speaker, I rise to support the consolidated appropriations act. First, I thank Ranking Member DeLauro for yielding me the time, but also for her leadership and perseverance in this challenging time.”

“Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize a remarkable organization in my state that has been providing essential services and advocacy for individuals with vision impairment and blindness for 120 years.”

“Mr. Speaker, I thank my good friend from Connecticut for yielding the time. Mr. Speaker, I rise today in strong opposition to this reckless attack on public media contained within this rescission bill and the millions of Americans who rely on and treasure their local public television and radio stations.”

“Mr. Speaker, I rise along with Congressman Jared Golden to recognize the leadership of Maryalice Crofton as the Executive Director of Volunteer Maine. During her 30 years of dedicated public service, Maryalice has engaged thousands of volunteers across the state to tackle local challenges and strengthen their communities.”

“Mr. Speaker, I thank the ranking member for yielding me this time. Mr. Speaker, I oppose this full-year continuing resolution and urge my colleagues to reject it. If we vote ``no'' and reject this CR, then we can go back to work and negotiate a regular, full-year spending bill.”
