                                 ______
                                 

                           HON. KATHY CASTOR

                               of florida

                    in the house of representatives

                         Monday, April 10, 2023

  Ms. CASTOR of Florida. Mr. Speaker, I am not recorded for Roll Call 
No. 174, Roll Call No. 175, Roll Call No. 176, Roll Call No. 177, Roll 
Call No. 178, Roll Call No. 179, Roll Call No. 180, Roll Call No. 181, 
Roll Call No. 182, on Thursday, March 30, 2023.
  I have been a proponent of protecting our climate since I have been 
in Congress. As the former chair of the Select Committee on the Climate 
Crisis, I have championed investing in a clean energy economy of the 
future, protecting the climate, and the future of all American people.
  I unequivocally oppose the corporate giveaway of H.R. 1 the Polluters 
over People Act. Last Congress, Democrats took decisive action to fight 
the climate crisis, protect the pocketbooks of the American people, and 
a healthy environment for all. H.R. 1 is an irresponsible giveaway to 
polluters at the expense of our neighbors back home and deserves a no 
vote.
  However, due to a death in my family, I was unable to be present for 
votes.
  Had I been present, I would have voted YEA on Roll Call No. 174; YEA 
on Roll Call No. 175; YEA on Roll Call No. 176; YEA on Roll Call No. 
177; NAY on Roll Call No. 178; NAY on Roll Call No. 179; NAY on Roll 
Call No. 180; YEA on Roll Call No. 181; and NAY on Roll Call No. 182.
