IN THEIR OWN WORDS

“Mr. Speaker, I rise in support of H.R. 9500, the Tax Relief for Fraud Victims Act. Right now, if a scammer steals your life savings through a romance scam, a fake investment scheme, or a business email fraud, the Federal tax code adds insult to injury. It is quite ridiculous.”

“Our constituents are being victimized twice: once by the criminal and again by the tax code. H.R. 9500 fixes this. It restores the deduction for theft losses involving fraud and deceit. It extends the deadline for victims to claim refunds once fraud is discovered. It removes harsh penalties on retirement funds stolen by scammers.”

“This displays just how central agriculture truly is to our community in Ohio. The first two lines of motto of the Future Farmers of America, also known as the FFA, are: Learning to Do, Doing to Learn. I believe this perfectly captures the spirit of our 4-H and FFA youth here in Ohio.”

“It is a tradition. It is a classroom, and it is a way of life for us in the Seventh District of Ohio. I couldn't be more honored to represent the students, families, volunteers, and community who make this fair what it is.”

“She brought life back into withering plants and turned simple stones into stunning works of art. In the end, she gave the ultimate gift: life to others through organ donation. At her honor walk at the Cleveland Clinic, more than 150 people lined the halls, a testament to her impact. Sammy was a daughter, a sister, an aunt, and a friend.”

“Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor the memory of Samantha ``Sammy'' Scherba. Sammy was just 28 when we lost her, a vibrant, artistic soul whose light touched every life that she encountered. She had a massive heart, big enough to embrace the entire world.”

  1. “Our constituents are being victimized twice: once by the criminal and again by the tax code. H.R. 9500 fixes this. It restores the deduction for theft losses involving fraud and deceit. It extends the deadline for victims to claim refunds once fraud is discovered. It removes harsh penalties on retirement funds stolen by scammers. I am proud to have introduced this commonsense legislation alongside my colleague Representative Suozzi. Mr. Speaker, I urge my colleagues to support H.R. 9500.”

  2. “Mr. Speaker, I rise in support of H.R. 9500, the Tax Relief for Fraud Victims Act. Right now, if a scammer steals your life savings through a romance scam, a fake investment scheme, or a business email fraud, the Federal tax code adds insult to injury. It is quite ridiculous. Current law largely bars victims from deducting those losses unless they are tied to a Federal- or State-declared disaster. That means every American who loses their retirement accounts to Ponzi schemes or cryptocurrency fraud gets absolutely no relief, while government still treats their stolen money as if it were untouched income. Per the FBI's 2025 Internet Crime Report, cyber-enabled crimes defrauded Americans of nearly $21 billion in just 2025 alone, a 26- percent jump in losses from 2024, with seniors hit hardest, at $7.7 billion.”

  3. “It is a tradition. It is a classroom, and it is a way of life for us in the Seventh District of Ohio. I couldn't be more honored to represent the students, families, volunteers, and community who make this fair what it is. The Wayne County Fair reflects the very best of the American spirit: hard work, responsibility, community, and a commitment to the next generation. When I see the young people of Wayne County carrying those values forward, I have great confidence in the future of American agriculture and the next generation of leaders who will carry it forward. ____________________”

  4. “This displays just how central agriculture truly is to our community in Ohio. The first two lines of motto of the Future Farmers of America, also known as the FFA, are: Learning to Do, Doing to Learn. I believe this perfectly captures the spirit of our 4-H and FFA youth here in Ohio. These students are up before sunrise, feeding their livestock before school. They communicate the importance of agriculture with pride. They act with integrity even when no one is watching. They consistently exemplify the grit, determination, and character that will make them the leaders of tomorrow. Behind them stands a remarkable community. This year alone, the junior fair auction exceeded $2 million, a testament to the families, businesses, and neighbors who invest in these students and believe in their future. The Wayne County Fair is more than an event.”

  5. “She brought life back into withering plants and turned simple stones into stunning works of art. In the end, she gave the ultimate gift: life to others through organ donation. At her honor walk at the Cleveland Clinic, more than 150 people lined the halls, a testament to her impact. Sammy was a daughter, a sister, an aunt, and a friend. She loved deeply, and she was loved deeply. I honor her family who are here today, who flew in from my district, Ohio 7. May God bless her memory. ____________________”

  6. “Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor the memory of Samantha ``Sammy'' Scherba. Sammy was just 28 when we lost her, a vibrant, artistic soul whose light touched every life that she encountered. She had a massive heart, big enough to embrace the entire world. Whether it was people, animals, or even the tiniest of insects, Sammy believed that every living thing deserved love and compassion.”

  7. “An estimated 600 American-Jewish servicemembers remain improperly buried under the Latin Cross, not the Star of David. Many brave servicemembers made the ultimate sacrifice while defending freedom in World War I and World War II, but due to clerical errors or concerns for their safety during service, their religious identities were not properly recorded. This bill is a meaningful step to correct those errors and to ensure that these heroes are laid to rest with the honor and dignity that they deserve. ____________________”

  8. “Mr. Speaker, every American who puts on the uniform deserves to be remembered with dignity and respect. I was proud to introduce the bipartisan Fallen Servicemembers Religious Heritage Restoration Act to help ensure that hundreds of fallen American-Jewish servicemembers are buried under military grave markers that represent their true religion and heritage.”
