Thomas R. Carper: “I focus on access to health care, making sure Americans broadly have access to health care, affordable health care…”

Not really. I have just come from the Environment and Public Works (EPW) Committee, which is having a hearing on the Key Bridge, the bridge in Baltimore that was badly damaged.

Public engagement can build trust, it can increase public buy-in, can help resolve issues, can help prevent litigation, and ultimately it can save time and money.

People ask me what I am proudest of in my life, and I always say, raising three boys, with a big assist from their mom.

For too long, the seats have not been filled, and not been filled properly.
