What Greg Landsman said, and what was done

“Mr. Speaker, I rise today in opposition to H.R. 1181, which is in this Rules package. I want to talk about the bill because it is going to make it harder for us to fight gun violence in America.”

“Mr. Speaker, the question then becomes: Why are they siding with gun manufacturers and not law enforcement? Why are they siding with the gun sellers and not our kids?”

“Mr. Speaker, I came down today to talk about the trans bill that the majority is pursuing this week. This is one of a ton of trans-obsessed bills.”

“Mr. Speaker, I thank Mr. Raskin for yielding. This morning, in our newspaper in Cincinnati, there was a story about how we are spending $25 million on police overtime because we don't have enough cops.”

“Mr. Speaker, I thank Mr. Pallone for yielding. I am a newer Member of Congress, so this one was crazy to me: this idea that we didn't allow farmers to produce this biofuel all year-round; that we didn't allow consumers to have this option; that there was a law that said that only when we say so can E15 biofuels be produced.”

“Mr. Speaker, I thank the ranking member, Mr. Pallone, for yielding to me. Mr. Speaker, America is in the middle of a healthcare crisis. More and more Americans can't afford their healthcare.”

“Mr. Speaker, I rise today on behalf of the 35,000 children in Ukraine that Putin and others have stolen during this unprovoked and brutal war. Shockingly, our government just made things worse as it relates to these children.”

“Mr. Speaker, I rise today to talk about a friend and a constituent, Shane DiGiovanna. Shane was born with EB, a rare and painful disease that makes the skin incredibly fragile.”

“Mr. Speaker, I rise today in honor of Elizabeth Anne Keys, a Cincinnatian who dedicated her life to giving back. She graduated from Madeira High School as valedictorian and was, as her principal described her, a natural leader.”

“Mr. Speaker, I rise today because the House just voted on the SAVE America Act, which will make it harder for tens of millions of Americans to vote, not noncitizens.”

“Mr. Speaker, America has become unaffordable for so many Americans. Many families, if not most families, are now struggling to pay their bills, including their electric bills. Congress should be focused entirely on lowering costs.”

“Mr. Speaker, I rise today on behalf of all the NIOSH workers around the country, including the 400 in my district. For 50 years, NIOSH has been helping workers all over the country, making sure that workers are safe and healthy.”

“Mr. Speaker, I thank the gentleman for yielding to give me this opportunity to speak. I believe that the greatest issue that we face in this country is the extreme concentration of wealth and power at the very top.”

“Mr. Speaker, I thank the Congresswoman for her incredible leadership and remarkable remarks. I rise today on behalf of the children of Ukraine. More than 35,000 children from Ukraine have been stolen by Vladimir Putin.”

“Mr. Speaker, I have been watching this debate, and I will say just one thing, which is, Mr. Speaker, I remember when the Republican Party was about small government, local control, and personal liberties.”

“Mr. Speaker, of the 22 million Americans who rely on the Affordable Care Act subsidies, 32,000 live in my district. They are about to experience healthcare costs that are skyrocketing.”

“Mr. Speaker, I thank the ranking member for yielding time. Mr. Speaker, it is simple. The bill weakens States' rights and their ability to manage clean water. It essentially says: Look, we will send these pipelines through our communities and through our States.”

“Mr. Speaker, I rise today to call for a vote on the extension of the Affordable Care Act subsidies that help 22 million Americans afford their healthcare. As you all know, they expire at the end of the year.”

“Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor Marc Fisher, a constituent of mine who has spent more than 35 years leading our Jewish community in Cincinnati. For the past 13 years, Marc has served as CEO of the Mayerson JCC.”

“Madam Speaker, I rise today on behalf of the girls and women in my district who just lost access to their healthcare because of this budget bill. Just weeks after this bill passed, two Planned Parenthood clinics in southwest Ohio are closing.”

“Mr. Speaker, I thank my colleague from Ohio (Mr. Latta) and Mr. Pallone. This is, I think, a really important bipartisan piece of legislation. It is a very simple and straightforward bill.”

“Mr. Speaker, I rise today on behalf of my constituents and the thousands of folks that have called our office begging Congress not to cut their healthcare or their food assistance all to pay for tax cuts for the wealthy.”

“Mr. Speaker, I rise today to share a story of a constituent and friend, Shane. Shane has a rare and painful disorder that makes the skin incredibly fragile and there is no cure.”

“Mr. Speaker, I thank Ranking Member Pallone for yielding. Mr. Speaker, the Securing Semiconductor Supply Chains Act, as has been said, is a very straightforward, commonsense bill. It will help strengthen our domestic semiconductor industry and grow U.S. manufacturing.”

“Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor a remarkable human being, a dear friend, Francie Pepper. Francie, at her core, was a mom and a grandmother but also an advocate, a philanthropist, and a champion for women and children.”

“Mr. Speaker, I rise today because this administration, the folks who are in charge of this country, after promising lower prices and a better economy, are actively jacking up prices and tanking the economy.”

“Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor the extraordinary life of Gwen Robinson, a dear friend of mine, an incredible leader, and an incredible human being. She was one of the first people I met when I arrived in Cincinnati, and she welcomed me in the way she did with almost everyone, immediately kind and immediately generous.”

“Mr. Speaker, I rise today in honor of an extraordinary individual, Mr. Kenny Bierschenk. Kenny has dedicated 30 years to enriching our community through music as a conductor and director of the Westside Community Band.”

“Mr. Speaker, the Social Security Fairness Act, which we passed a few months ago, is now in effect, and 3.2 million Americans will see a big increase in their monthly Social Security checks.”

“Mr. Speaker, I rise today on behalf of one of my constituents, Debbie. Up until 1 week ago, Debbie worked at the Cincinnati VA, responsible for finding and hiring doctors with the skills needed to treat very sick veterans.”

“Mr. Speaker, I rise today to support our Federal workers. These are public servants who live and work all over the country. The vast majority of our Federal workers do not live in the Washington, D.C., area.”

“Mr. Speaker, I thank Congressman Himes for doing this Special Order and including us. I appreciate his leadership. Mr. Speaker, I was legitimately shocked. I am certain that this is the first time ever the President of the United States, certainly in my lifetime, released hundreds of violent criminals from jails and sent them into our communities.”

“Mr. Speaker, I rise today to celebrate the 215th anniversary of Lebanon, Ohio. Lebanon is the birthplace of The Western Star, Ohio's oldest weekly newspaper, the home of the historic Golden Lamb Inn, Ohio's oldest hotel, which has hosted 12 United States Presidents and literary giants like Mark Twain, Charles Dickens, and Harriet Beecher Stowe.”

“Mr. Speaker, I hate bullies. This bill is about bullying children. Children struggle with identity, gender, and otherwise. As a parent of two and a former teacher, I need all adults, including politicians and lawmakers, to help my wife and I protect our children, to support them, to give them a sense of purpose and belonging.”
