I want to just get the best deal for the best product for the people who actually use it on the front lines.

the best way to avoid these kinds of problems was, having a methodical review for every dollar going out.

So would you agree with the CBO's score--that the CBO said at the very least that Graham-Cassidy reduces Medicaid by $1 trillion?

I look forward to seeing those scheduled so we could get to the bottom of this, and I'll be submitting more questions to the record to find out what's been investigated.

I think it deserves some oversight.

This Trump budget dismantles Medicaid and the Affordable Care Act. It represents an attack on working families and lifesaving programs.

I wanted to make a plug, and I bet Senator Blumenthal will join me on this, a plug for the FTC working with state attorneys general.

I have a long history of working with the Federal Trade Commission on false labeling of sports equipment, especially sports equipment targeted to young people.

In December, I wrote to the FTC, along with Senators Schumer and Blumenthal, asking for a workshop to discuss the increased use of 'bots' to purchase large quantities of in-demand toys and items.

A first priority for the Commission, if I am confirmed, is going to be making sure we are doing vigorous enforcement.

The census can have a profound influence on the issue of voting accessibility, everything from a constituent's voting district to the availability of language assistance at the polls.

Valid and accurate census data is the bedrock of fair, proportionate representation in our democracy.

Administering the census is a task so fundamental to how our government operates that our Nation's founders included it in the Constitution.

An inaccurate census risks underrepresentation for tribal communities, and an undercount can lead to skewed State, local, and Federal voting districts that diminish the voices of those communities.

That makes it all the more important that we get the census right.

One important area where the Administration's fiscal year 2019 budget falls short yet again is funding for the Census Bureau's partnership program.
