Madam Speaker, I rise today in support of the Affordable Innovation for the Grid Act, bipartisan legislation that I was proud to introduce alongside Representative Harshbarger. Across the country, rising electricity demand and fuel costs are driving up monthly energy bills for everyday families. To protect consumers and strengthen our energy infrastructure, we need to improve grid efficiency and connect new sources of energy to the grid as quickly as possible. Supporting the adoption of cutting-edge computing tools is a practical way to achieve these goals.

Mr. Speaker, I rise to honor my constituent Garrett Edwards. Like many, Garrett struggled with mental health during the pandemic. Despite being restricted from owning a firearm, he legally purchased a lethal airgun and tragically took his own life. This should have never happened. Currently, some modern airguns are as deadly as traditional firearms yet aren't regulated as guns. This allows anyone to bypass background checks and effectively buy a firearm no matter what.
Mr. Speaker, I rise today to talk about nitrous oxide--a deadly inhalant that is being sold to consumers online and in stores across the U.S. Put yourself in the shoes of a parent who just received the worst news of their life: your child has suddenly become unable to walk. They have blood clots around their lungs, or, tragically, they have lost their life, and it is all because they got addicted to inhaling nitrous oxide they bought legally off the shelf from their corner store or online in bulk. While grieving the unimaginable, you are left asking: How did this happen?
