Represent. How long would you like to serve in the house if they keep you . You ran for Lieutenant Governor at one point in michigan. Do you have larger aspirations back home in michigan . Rep. Lawrence i am living and working my dream job. I have been given this wonderful opportunity. I want to serve as long as the people keep me there. As long as i have the fire in my belly, i was telling my staff and walking down the hall and said, i never want to lose this sense of awe. I still stand here and think about the history. I never want to walk in just feel like i am in a special place. If i ever lose that, i am going home. If i am truly doing public work and taking care my constituents, i want to stay here.

Some of the new jersey cranberry rake and an instrument that looks very old. Rep. Macarthur everything reminds me of Something Back home. It is an antique cranberry rake and reminds me of the Farming Community about 800 family farms in my district. I have paintings of boating and seascapes and a lot of military things.

Objectives objections to this. There was a memorandum that was very intense about the constitutionality of this concept. As thes read by olc statement that congress did not mean access to all. And it is wrong. The deletion is explained earlier in the legislative as,rt, four pages another were cleaning up certain features of this act. That is it. But if you reverse the order, it looks like this dramatic moment togreat Senate Consideration dump this provision in an effort to say, all does not mean all. I found that the most disturbing actually because you are reordering legislative history. And that is absolutely an acceptable. Mr. Grassley mr. Miller, before you answer my first question, i want you to think about the second one because we are looking for the language that would make it clear enough to ensure that the Inspector General really do get access to all records belonging to their respective agencies.

Host how did you first make your way around the hill . How did you find out where to go . The whole orientation. i think rep. Lawrence i think that the Administration Committee did an amazing job with orientation. What they did that was so profound was that they included your spouse.

That was important. The other thing is that you got lost a lot. This is a massive building with tunnels that will take you places you have never heard of. Staffe Start Building i know how to get to the floor to vote and to the cafeteria. It was trial and error. They kind of laugh as y
How we overcome these restrictions. Tom has pointed out, representative waters pointed out, the fact that when these restrictions are in place they are significant for people. And the fact that we have communities that fight hard to overcome those restrictions does not make them right, or correct. And so, i think we have to continue as representative waters has stated and tom has stated and everyone here needs to understand, to fight against these restrictions, understand exactly what they are, which are efforts to take away the right to vote, restrict the right to vote from people, minorities, young people, you know, the idea that many of these i. D. , voter i. D. Laws do not allow you to use your college i. D. , in texas, right, you can use gun, firearm owners card but can not use the college i. D. As your voter i. D. And, how can that possibly be if your objective is to do anything other than limit young peoples right to vote . And how, how can that be right in the country we live i
