I thank Senator Ernst for that beautiful testimony to Senator Tom Coburn. While I was running for Senate, I was often asked who my heroes were in the U.S. Senate. The first name that always came to mind was Dr. Tom Coburn. As a legislator…

I thank my colleague from West Virginia. It is such a delight to serve with her and hear the stories of so many great Americans from across the country who are stepping up during this time of need. We are passing through a painful period…

in reserving the right to object, in my mind, the argument that the White House and the task force have not been transparent is a faux argument by the minority leader. He is really trying to let career regulators at agencies like the CDC…

I rise to honor and recognize the life and contributions of Mr. Jim Cummings to the countless Hoosiers whose lives he touched over nine decades. Jim was a giant in Indiana. His long and rich life left many indelible marks on our State. We…

I want to give a shout-out to the healthcare workers in Indiana's Second District while I am standing here supporting this legislation. What a phenomenal job and risk they have taken. I am supporting this legislation today, but this delay…

Today, April 23, 2020, I missed roll call votes 103 and 104. Had I been present for roll call 103, on Agreeing to H. Res. 938, Providing for the adoption of the resolution (H. Res. 935) establishing a Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus…

This COVID thing is going to be totally behind us by next month. It’ll be over by May.

The health and safety of Hoosiers and all Americans is and will remain my top priority.

Over the last 10 days, I have seen the very best of America. I have seen restaurants Umi Seafood and Lucille's BBQ in Fort Wayne deliver thousands of meals to those who need it. I have seen TNT Floral Shop in Columbia City deliver flowers…

Yesterday, I got in my car and drove to Washington, D.C., from Columbus, Indiana, on behalf of the voters in Indiana's Sixth District. Mr. Speaker, I am here to support President Trump and be a voice for Hoosiers who need relief from this…

These unprecedented times call for unity to help Hoosiers and all Americans who are struggling medically and/or financially through no fault of their own. This relief package puts Americans first, with aid for families, workers, small…

I am cautiously optimistic that a March 28, 2020, go live is still achievable in Spokane.

I have been here a little over a year. I keep mentioning that often because what a year it has been. In that stretch, there has not been a period of time when I think there has been so much urgency for us as a Senate and for the other…

growing up, my dad used to tell me on a regular basis: ``You should never speak up unless you can improve upon the silence.'' I tried to take that to heart in my personal life and in my professional life. Today I feel like I can improve…

I have been here a little over a year and have dealt with several issues that tell me how this place works. I never thought we would come to the point at which we have actually choked down the real economy with the valid effort of trying…

first of all, I would like to thank you for sparing me not having to be in the seat indefinitely, and I promise I will keep this short. What a day we have come through. Senator Cramer and I have been here a little bit over a year, and I…

We will look to help the airline industry, the cruise industry, support tourism and travel.

We don't have enough tests today to meet what we anticipate will be the demand going forward.
