                      HOUSE DEMOCRATS TAKE ACTION

  (Ms. BROWNLEY asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute.)
  Ms. BROWNLEY. Madam Speaker, the American people are feeling the 
effects of rising costs. As these costs continue to put pressure on the 
pockets of America's working families, House Democrats are working 
tirelessly to provide relief.
  When gas prices soared earlier this year, House Democrats took action 
to fight price gouging at the pump.
  House Democrats took action to lower insulin costs and ensure that 
lifesaving prescriptions do not send families into bankruptcy.
  As food prices rose, House Democrats took action to reduce prices for 
American farmers and lower prices for families in the grocery aisles.
  But our work is far from over.
  We understand that prices are too high and Americans are struggling 
to make ends meet. Fighting inflation and lowering costs for families 
remains our top priority.
  Republicans have tried to obstruct bills to cut costs to earn 
political points at the expense of hardworking American families. It is 
time to put people before politics.
  House Democrats are working for America's working families, and it is 
time my Republican colleagues do the same.
