                          PEOPLE OVER POLITICS

  (Ms. GARCIA of Texas asked and was given permission to address the 
House for 1 minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
  Ms. GARCIA of Texas. Mr. Speaker, House Democrats have always put 
people over politics, but House Republicans continue to prioritize 
their own power and pocketbooks instead of solving problems.
  House Democrats have lowered kitchen table costs for Americans by 
lowering healthcare coverage prices, capping out-of-pocket drug costs 
for seniors, and giving Medicare the power to negotiate lower prices.
  Additionally, we have helped make clean energy more affordable to 
American families through rebates and tax credits.
  Meanwhile, House Republicans continue threatening to raise taxes on 
families and cut Social Security and Medicare funding.
  Our seniors are dependent on these vital programs.
  These extreme MAGA Republicans are focused on political games at the 
risk of thousands of Americans' livelihoods.
  I will always put people over politics today, tomorrow, and every 
day.
  People over politics.
