Our goal is to reaffirm that government by the people, speaking through their elected representatives, is the best way to keep us free and safe, protect our liberty, and make sure the promise of America exists for the next generation.
Quote by -Cathy McMorris
We should not be strangling ourselves economically by not utilizing the resources we have been given or by putting them off-limits.
Quote by -Cathy McMorris
We need to work together to support common-sense solutions to establish and maintain regulatory certainty and predictability for the mining industry and reduce excessive, duplicative, and expensive permitting delays.
Quote by -Cathy McMorris
Salmon recovery in the Northwest is a complex issue and requires a comprehensive regionwide effort. Dam removal is not the answer. It would have a devastating impact on our region's energy and transportation infrastructure and may do little to even help salmon listed as threatened or endangered.
Quote by -Cathy McMorris
House Republican women are trailblazers in their own right, and we are focused on a bold, forward-looking agenda to restore a confident America, where every individual and family feels secure in their lives and in their futures.
Quote by -Cathy McMorris
When I think of the limitless potential my young daughters, Grace and Brynn, will have as they grow into young women, I want my girls' generation to remember the strength, determination, and struggles of the women who came before them and paved the way.
Quote by -Cathy McMorris
When our Founders created this great experiment in self-governance, the House of Representatives became, by design, the body closest to the people. We are the most accountable, and we must be the most transparent.
Quote by -Cathy McMorris
The power in Washington, D.C., is centered on the status quo - outdated systems, models, and programs built for a previous century. With more silicon and less concrete, we can open up those models to return power and independence to every man, woman, and child.
Quote by -Cathy McMorris
We operate in a world where you can have a package from Amazon arrive on your doorstep the same day; where Uber has a private driver at your front door within minutes; but when it comes to Congress, it takes three weeks for someone to get a form letter response to his or her questions.
Quote by -Cathy McMorris
I was single when I was first elected to Congress - and at 35 years old, I had given up the hope that I'd find my own 'Mr. Wonderful,' get married, and have a family.
Quote by -Cathy McMorris
My mom sacrificed everything for my brother and me. She taught me so many things - about life, love, faith, ambition, and family - and she instilled in me the desire to have my own kids one day.
Quote by -Cathy McMorris
I think we should be looking at ways that we can make childcare more available at the place of employment.
Quote by -Cathy McMorris
I have a supportive family and an outstanding team, but I also have a flexible work schedule that allows me, at least some of the time, to get to the kids' school program or the doctor visits when I need to. So family-friendly work schedules have become more of a passion of mine, and the cost of childcare is also a huge issue.
Quote by -Cathy McMorris
Becoming a mom makes politics real. Whether it's education policies, health care policies, family leave - it informs your decision-making.
Quote by -Cathy McMorris
There have been a lot of times when work and parenting conflicted for me. Every day.
Quote by -Cathy McMorris
While global research is crucial, the U.S. must maintain its leadership role as the world's innovator for both medical advancement and job creation.
Quote by -Cathy McMorris
To ensure that America remains the leader in medical innovation, we must reduce the costs of developing life-saving drugs and ensure that there are appropriate economic incentives in place to produce them.
Quote by -Cathy McMorris
In order for America to remain the leader in medical innovation, we must reduce costs, ease regulatory burdens, and increase the efficacy of producing new treatments and cures here in the U.S.
Quote by -Cathy McMorris
We need to address the systemic structural issues within the VA - the misallocation of resources, the interminably long waiting lists, the bureaucratic inefficiencies - to ensure that our American heroes are properly protected the second they return home from war.
Quote by -Cathy McMorris
As the wife of a retired Navy commander and the representative of the district covering Fairchild Air Force Base in Spokane, Washington, I see firsthand the permanent effects of war - both physical and psychological - on those who serve our country.
Quote by -Cathy McMorris
Throughout human history, some of our most influential inventors, entrepreneurs, and leaders have had disabilities. For example, Bill Gates, Sir Richard Branson, and Charles Schwab are all dyslexic, while scientist Stephen Hawking has used a wheelchair for decades.
Quote by -Cathy McMorris
The ADA gave more than 50 million Americans with disabilities, just like my son Cole, the chance to live the American Dream and be defined only by their potential - not their limitations.
Quote by -Cathy McMorris
While health reform is a worthy goal, we shouldn't pay for it by taxing those who already have high medical costs because they or someone in their family has a disability.
Quote by -Cathy McMorris
Far too many government spending programs have gone years, even decades, without being reauthorized, leaving the American people less able to effectively review, rethink, and possibly eliminate government programs.
Quote by -Cathy McMorris
By Congress delegating its authority to the executive and judicial branches, we've removed the American people from the process. They're left as bystanders to the whims of executive overreach, and they're watching the country they know and love slip away. Worse, they think their representatives are powerless to stop it.
Quote by -Cathy McMorris
We were given a system of government that places the people at the center of all decision-making and relies on the consent of the governed, with our rights and the government's limitations clearly outlined.
Quote by -Cathy McMorris
With its record spending and deficits, the Obama administration has shown little interest in taking fiscal responsibility. That is a mistake.
Quote by -Cathy McMorris
If America isn't asking for Europe's help with New Jersey, why should Europe feel uninhibited about asking for America's help with Greece?
Quote by -Cathy McMorris
The significant disparity in work opportunities for people with disabilities is the direct result of government programs and policies that propagate dependency.
Quote by -Cathy McMorris
Reducing the entanglement of Big Government in order to benefit people with disabilities should be a top priority for the Republican party.
Quote by -Cathy McMorris
Despite the fact that important measures such as the Americans with Disabilities Act passed only with crucial Republican support, the public - and the community of disability advocates - normally identifies this issue with the Democratic party.
Quote by -Cathy McMorris
The idea that just because you are a woman you should be supporting Hillary Clinton I think is false. There is a broad base of political views.
Quote by -Cathy McMorris
Our goal as Republicans is to ensure gender discrimination ends once and for all, and to also help guarantee those who want to remain in the workforce and continue their careers aren't hindered by clunky, outdated regulatory structures that penalize them for making that choice.
Quote by -Cathy McMorris
As the highest-ranking Republican woman in the U.S. House of Representatives and the mom of two daughters, I believe if we're serious as a nation about empowering every American to pursue his or her own dreams, then true cases of gender discrimination need to be confronted.
Quote by -Cathy McMorris
It came down to the AHCA or the continued disaster of Obamacare, which was an easy choice. The AHCA is a major improvement, because a federal one-size-fits-all approach to health care isn't the answer.
Quote by -Cathy McMorris
At each point of our process to repeal Obamacare, we have not lost sight of our responsibility to the most vulnerable in our communities. Safety nets and protections are important and must be maintained for those who need them most.
Quote by -Cathy McMorris
When Obamacare was introduced, Republicans and Democrats knew the status quo wasn't working. But Republicans rejected the notion that to help 2 million people with preexisting conditions get access to care, we needed a 2,000-page bill that transformed one-sixth of the economy.
Quote by -Cathy McMorris
We must remember that although we come from different backgrounds and ideologies, we're all part of this great experiment in self-governance. We're all united by common values of liberty, justice, and equality of opportunity, even if we don't always agree on how to achieve them.
Quote by -Cathy McMorris
Reveling in our opponents' missteps and losses drags us down as a country and diminishes our potential as people.
Quote by -Cathy McMorris
Division stifles progress and prevents good ideas - no matter their source - from being heard and considered.
Quote by -Cathy McMorris
That is what we stand for - for an America that is every bit as compassionate as it is exceptional.
Quote by -Cathy McMorris
You want to do everything you can so your child has every tool to succeed.
