“Today, this House will come together and do something simple but important: honor a great American hero. Mr. Speaker, Tony Gallopo, as you have heard, was a brave Navy veteran, vice commander of the New Jersey Department of The American Legion, and commander of American Legion Post 86 in Newton, New Jersey. He spent time in Bergen County and Sussex County. He was a firefighter. He was a man who served and then came back and served more. For years, my good friend did what a lot of people talk about but few actually do.”

“to not pass this legislation is deeply irresponsible. It will allow the Wild West to continue. This will protect consumers and ensure that the Trump coin and others are overseen, with protection and oversight from the CFTC. It is critically important for protecting consumers and protecting our country.”
