I thank the gentleman from Missouri for yielding today. Madam Speaker, I rise today in strong opposition to this massive tax- and-spend plan that was only posted late last night. This entire process has been a sham. It has been full of…

I would like to expand on my tribute to former Iowa Congressman Neal Smith. As I said yesterday, he was a true public servant, interested in doing right by his State rather than seeking self-aggrandizement. He was a real legislator, not a…

I want to thank Senator Lankford for letting me take 3 minutes to honor an Iowan who recently passed away, a former Member of the House of Representatives. And I think there is only one other United States Senator who would know who I am…

it was a pleasure to work on this legislation with Senator Klobuchar, so we joined forces--it happens to turn out that there are 10 of our Senate colleagues--in a bipartisan way to introduce this legislation that we call the American…

during my time in the Senate, I have always tried to honor the work of whistleblowers. Those who speak up about government wrongdoing ought to be rewarded and not sidelined and punished. But that is exactly what happened in the Indian…

I think this is an extraordinarily important topic and I appreciate Chairman Thompson bringing this forward today.

Some of our farmers who have been able to guarantee fertilizer availability for next planting season have also reported prices being quoted to them that are six times higher than 2021.

I represent the 4th District in Iowa. This is probably one of the largest ag industries in our nation.

earlier this month, Senator Ernst and I sent a letter to Secretary Mayorkas asking the Secretary to address the devastating cyber attacks conducted on our national agricultural sector. Agriculture is designated as one of the country's 16…

Last week, Attorney General Garland said something very extraordinary. He said he would not withdraw his memo in which he instructed the FBI to get involved with local school boards. Why would the FBI be interested in parents' meetings…

Thank you, Mr. President. I also want to thank my senior Senator from our great State of Iowa for his wonderful contributions to our agriculture sector. This is an extremely important topic that we are bringing to the floor today, the…

yesterday, in a hearing in the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, Ranking Member Risch, called out the State Department for its apparent lack of action in helping those Americans and Afghan allies who are still stuck in Afghanistan. It…

I hear from Iowans all the time about the high cost of hearing aids. The $5,000 or $6,000 or even $10,000 costs are often shocking for seniors who are on fixed incomes. Thirty-eight million Americans, and, obviously, most of the time…

I was given a chance to speak five minutes at this event and I took advantage of that to see about what the Biden administration is doing on inflation. Nothing. What they're doing at the border, nothing. How they left Americans in Afghan…

Since your confirmation, in less than a year, the Department has moved as far left as it can go. You've politicized the department in ways that shouldn't be, case in point, your infamous school board memo.

The NFIP has been largely criticized because of communities of color and lower-income areas are disproportionately less likely to be covered.

I support vaccines and have personally administered them in all 24 counties in my district.

FEMA needs to do a way better job of encountering, you know, future conditions into these flood maps.
