"Today, the House took a bold first step to confront the climate crisis and protect our planet by keeping us in the Paris Climate Agreement and laying the groundwork for further climate action. I agree with the overwhelming majority of scientists who recognize that climate change is real, and it's essential that our country honors its commitment to work with the rest of the world to cut carbon pollution and address this crisis together."
"I'm pleased that President Trump and Democratic leaders were able to have a productive conversation on the need to rebuild our nation's aging infrastructure, and that they agreed on a number for an infrastructure package. This is an important, bipartisan step toward fixing our crumbling roads, bridges and airports, which will create millions of good-paying jobs and help protect the future of our planet.

Statement from Rep. Davids on H. Res. 124, opposing President Trump's ban on transgender individuals serving in the U.S. Armed Forces:
"Since 2016, transgender servicemembers have served openly and honorably in the U.S. Armed Forces. The President's discriminatory ban on transgender individuals serving in the military demeans the service of thousands of brave transgender service members, hurts our military readiness, and doesn't reflect our values as a nation.
