During her remarks, Rep. Salinas highlighted the detrimental effects that this will have on the youth mental health crisis. Rep. Salinas voted in opposition to the legislation.\n\nImage\n\nClick here to watch Rep. Salinas\u2019 full remarks.\n\nA transcript of Salinas\u2019 floor speech is available below:\n\nMadam Speaker, I rise in opposition to this disgusting bill that does nothing to protect children's innocence.\n\nIt endangers parents, health care providers, and children. It allows health care providers and parents to be fined and possibly jailed if they help a minor access lifesaving care, and it permits federal law enforcement to act as the \u201cnational gender police\u201d, allowing them to invade children's private medical records.\n\nThis bill puts even more children in harm's way and exacerbates the mental health crisis that our young people are facing, because it stops them from actually receiving the care that they need right now.\n\nMadam Speaker, why is our focus on this when what I'm hearing from constituents is that Republicans are falling short in addressing the cost of groceries, health care, and housing?\n\nTo my Republican colleagues, why not focus on the issues that will impact millions of families who are just one paycheck away from homelessness or losing their health care, instead of waging a war on children's genitals? What is this unhealthy obsession?\n\nLet's end it today by voting no on H.R. 3492.\n\nI yield back.\n\n###", 1, "2026-03-30T01:40:41Z", "2026-04-06T20:09:11Z"]], "columns": ["url", "title", "date", "year", "month", "party", "chamber", "state", "member_name", "bioguide_id", "domain", "scraper", "source", "date_source", "text", "has_text", "collected_at", "updated_at"], "primary_keys": ["url"], "primary_key_values": ["https://salinas.house.gov/media/press-releases/rep-andrea-salinas-delivers-remarks-condemning-legislation-will-jeopardize"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 0.8065607398748398, "source": "dwillis/congress-press", "source_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press", "license": "MIT", "license_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press/blob/main/LICENSE"}
