I rise today to discuss an issue that is very important to me and to the 1,300 Hoosiers currently in need of an organ transplant. That issue is the lack of organs for patients in need and our broken organ donation system. For more than 30…

We hope you will agree that the response of the Department of Transportation--to do nothing, after three years of silence--is unacceptable.

I'm sick of these things being talked about in political terms, in theoretical terms. I think it's a show, sometimes. It's people's lives.

I'm not going to present myself as the person who is going to resolve racial tension or racial inequality in this country, that's not the story I'm telling.

Because I couldn't get it done. My community is in anguish right now because of an officer-involved shooting, a black man, Eric Logan, killed by a white officer.

Unfortunately, my friends on the other side of the aisle are fighting tooth and nail to eliminate religious liberty and advance the radical pro-abortion agenda by rolling back common sense conscience protections.

Here we go again. Another bloated spending deal that doesn't just bust the spending caps but spends more than ever before on this division. With a $22 trillion national debt, you would think my colleagues on the other side of the aisle…
