Quigley stated that a President who campaigned on no new wars is dragging the country and its allies into a war with little explanation and no clear long-term strategy, and argued that American servicemembers are not disposable and Americans want no part of this war.

Quigley described visiting Saint Sabina Church in Chicago where he spoke with a single mother and seniors about the impact of SNAP benefit delays and expressed concern about proposed cuts affecting 360,000 Illinoisans.

Quigley addressed the House for 5 minutes to recount the story of Brad Lang and his father Donald Lang, Sr., highlighting their experiences as Black aviators and their contributions to aviation history.

Quigley called for the resignation of Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., as Secretary of Health and Human Services, citing his failure to recommend the measles vaccine despite child deaths, his statements against COVID vaccines for pregnant women, his reduction of funding for vaccines, and his release of a report with non-existent research.

Quigley included in the Congressional Record remarks made by Justice Aurelia Pucinski on Pulaski Day, March 3, 2025, at the Polish Museum of America in Chicago celebrating Casimir Pulaski and Polish-American contributions to American history.

Quigley spoke on the House floor opposing the decision to shut down USAID, stating that the agency is critical for tracking diseases, alleviating poverty and terrorism root causes, and countering Chinese and Russian influence, and argued it represents a one-penny-per-dollar investment in American security.

Quigley named five police officers who died following the January 6 Capitol attack and stated that President Trump pardoned or commuted the sentences of over 1,500 individuals responsible for the attack.

Quigley stated that Israel has the right to defend itself but that Prime Minister Netanyahu has overseen a military campaign with catastrophic consequences for Gaza and Israel, and argued that the United States has a responsibility to prevent Israel's legitimate anger from spiraling into endless violence.

Quigley spoke in the House about attacks on the transgender community, stating that discriminatory policies targeting transgender people represent an exception to the principle of "liberty and justice for all" and urging that national problems have never been solved by creating scapegoats.

Quigley asked for permission to address the House for 1 minute and stated that the body's best work derives from compromise, urging Members not to reject legislation because they cannot get everything they want or threaten to shut down the government.
