As an obstetrician, I have delivered thousands of babies and helped moms through pregnancies for 25 years. I stand before the House today disgusted by the murderous, barbarous legislation pushed by Democrats in New York legalizing…

I am horribly disappointed and ashamed that, today, taxpayers remain the top funding source for America's abortion leader, Planned Parenthood. As an obstetrician and gynecologist, I have delivered thousands of babies from Kansas. I…

I grew up in a small town in Kansas, and perhaps the most respected person in the city was our family physician, Dr. Norman Oberholtzer. Dr. Oberholtzer delivered my brother, my sister, and, of course, me. He saved my life. He had saved…

On April 3, 1968, the Reverend Martin Luther King gave what the world didn't know would be his final speech. Seven times in that address, Dr. King said, ``But I wouldn't stop there,'' as he spoke of his dreams for a better world. This…

It is always good to go back home, and this weekend was especially rewarding for me. My wife and I left D.C. this past Friday afternoon, flew through Dallas, and landed in Wichita sometime shortly after sunset. As we hopped in my truck…

The crisis on our southern border is very real. When I took the oath to represent the big First District of Kansas, it became my responsibility to put our citizens and their security first. Without secure borders, we cannot ensure our…

I was not present for rollcall vote No. 467 on Motion to Table. Had I been present, I would have voted ``yea.'' ____________________

As I have traveled across Kansas, I have heard how a strong Internet connection can impact communities, boost local economies, and create jobs. Access to the Internet allows small businesses to sell their products across the country and…

a little earlier in the evening, we cast a vote, one that was done without a rollcall, and I want my constituents to know how I voted because, while I will put a statement in the Record, it will not appear as yeas and nays. Earlier this…

I am here to speak tonight because something is not right. I want to express my real concern with the recent decision of the national liver allocation policy made by the Organ Procurement Transplant Network made on December 4. This sounds…

I would like to have assurance that access standards will be applied to where a veteran actually lives, not his or her post office box, as has been the case in the past.

The care is available within the VA broadly. In my view, the question is, is the care in the VA available at the facility, the hospital where the veteran lives?

I am on the floor this afternoon to honor a friend, a colleague, and the senior Representative from Kansas, Congresswoman Lynn Jenkins, who has gracefully and honorably served Kansas for two decades in both our State and here in the…

I ask unanimous consent that the order for the quorum call be rescinded. The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered. Will the Senator suspend a moment? ____________________

thank you. We all are surrounded by exceptionally dedicated young men and women who work side by side with us and whose lead we sometimes follow on issues--our staff. I am honored to have such a capable, dedicated, and loyal staff--to me…

Today we will vote on the farm bill, and I can't help but be reminded of the more than 1,100 attendees at the farm bill listening sessions we held across the country. What an honor it was to take the comments, the feedback, and the…
