                    LEGISLATION TO INVEST IN AMERICA

  The SPEAKER pro tempore. The Chair recognizes the gentlewoman from 
Minnesota (Ms. Omar) for 5 minutes.
  Ms. OMAR. Madam Speaker, this week we are considering critical 
legislation to invest in America and Minnesotans. We are investing in 
childcare, education, healthcare, housing, and so many other basics 
that my district so desperately needs.
  In the Fifth District alone, we secured over $46 million in 
transportation and community project funding. That includes the skills 
training for clean energy careers, funding for updated sprinkler 
systems, a new healthcare clinic on Lake Street, a new park in Brooklyn 
Center, and so much more.
  How we choose to invest our resources is a reflection of our 
priorities, and we, as House Democrats, are making our priorities 
clear: American jobs, opportunity, and working families.
