What Josh Gottheimer said, and what was done

“Mr. Speaker, I thank my very good friend from New Jersey as well as my friends on the other side for their support. Mr. Speaker, I rise in support of my bill, H.R. 6007.”

“Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor the life and enduring legacy of H. Andrew Schwartz of Bethesda, Maryland, a beloved husband, father, and one of Washington's most respected communications professionals, who passed away on July 16, 2025, at the age of 56.”

“Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor Comstock & Holt, Inc. on the occasion of its remarkable 170th anniversary. Since its founding in 1856, Comstock & Holt has stood as a cornerstone of American trade and remains the Nation's oldest continuously operating duty drawback specialist.”

“Mr. Speaker, let me begin by thanking and recognizing my very dear friend and a phenomenal leader in our country, Sheriff John Rutherford. Sheriff Rutherford served in law enforcement and continues to serve our great country today in Congress.”

“Madam Speaker, I think Congressman Kennedy said it best. Congressman Rutherford and I just leaned over to each other after what you just said, Congressman Kennedy, and said: That is exactly right.”

“Mr. Speaker, I don't know if any of that is true or false, but Congress isn't getting briefed, so I wouldn't know if that is true or false.”

“Mr. Speaker, people have lots of questions about the goals, about the Strait of Hormuz, about $5 gas, about what a win looks like for America. Make no mistake, my resolution explicitly grants us the ability to maintain a presence in the region, to respond to any Iranian aggression that places Americans or our allies in danger, and to safely remove our troops.”

“My ask, Mr. President, is brief the appropriate committees and do so regularly. Lay out the plan. Let us do our job as a co-equal branch of the government.”

“Mr. Speaker, I believe that if they are able to develop a nuclear program and they continue to have their ballistic missile program and their drone program, then I am deeply concerned about the threat they present to the United States and our allies in the region.”

“I am just saying, Mr. Mast, that if they, right now, are able to--and these are kind of questions I have that I am not getting briefed on.”

“By the way, I completely agree with your outline of the threats that Iran poses, and I want to be very clear about that. I think they present a clear and present danger to our country, their regime there, which is why they need to be crushed.”

“I am glad you are getting those briefings. The challenge is, at least from my colleagues' perspective and me, who sits on the committee, we have not been getting those sort of briefings that you have been getting.”

“I am with you, and I just want to make sure--I want to understand where we are in that process and actually get appropriate updates on what is going on so that I can do my job.”

“Mr. Speaker, I thank Congressman and Sheriff Rutherford for yielding. This week, law enforcement officers from across our country are gathering here in Washington for National Police Week.”

“Madam Speaker, last April, Jersey and our Nation lost a dedicated father, husband, public servant, and just a real giant. I miss Don Payne, like we all do.”

“Mr. Speaker, I rise in support of this bill. Democrats just had a huge win across the country because we focused on what hardworking families care about: lowering food and healthcare prices, cutting childcare costs, and lowering utility bills.”

“Mr. Speaker, I am proud to welcome the Ecumenical Patriarch of Constantinople, His All-Holiness Bartholomew, to Washington, D.C. this week, and to congratulate him on receiving the distinguished Templeton Prize.”

“Mr. Speaker, I rise to celebrate the 50th anniversary of Bruce Springsteen's ``Born to Run,'' a legendary album that is still inspiring generations today. Since its release, Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band have captured not just the American spirit, but also the Jersey values that unite us.”

“Mr. Speaker, I rise in support of the bipartisan GENIUS Act. This legislation builds on the bicameral negotiations that Chairman Hill, former Chairman McHenry, Chairman Steil, and I, and so many others, have worked so hard on for the past years.”

“Mr. Speaker, to not pass this legislation is deeply irresponsible. It will allow the Wild West to continue. This will protect consumers and ensure that the Trump coin and others are overseen, with protection and oversight from the CFTC.”

“Mr. Speaker, I thank Chairwoman Craig for her excellent leadership. Mr. Speaker, I rise in support of the bipartisan CLARITY Act. This bill was made possible through a bipartisan effort that I was very proud to help lead with Chairman Hill and Congressman Steil.”

“Mr. Speaker, I rise to celebrate the safe return of New Jersey native Edan Alexander. This was a moment of profound relief and gratitude for his family, our community, and our Nation.”

“Mr. Chair, I rise in support of the en bloc package which includes three amendments I offered to the FY 2026 Military Construction, Veterans Affairs, and Related Agencies Appropriations bill.”

“Mr. Speaker, I missed the following votes, but had I been present, I would have voted: YEA on Roll Call No. 63; YEA on Roll Call No. 64; and YEA on Roll Call No. 65.”

“Mr. Speaker, I missed the following votes, but had I been present, I would have voted YEA on Roll Call No. 36 and YEA on Roll Call No. 37.”

“Mr. Speaker, I missed the following votes, but had I been present, I would have voted YEA on Roll Call No. 13, YEA on Roll Call No. 14, and YEA on Roll Call No. 15. personal explanation Mrs.”
