I appreciate you helping us make that a year-round requirement for E15.

We want to incentivize people to feel like they can achieve their dreams and not be held down.

Thank you, Chairwoman Klobuchar, for holding this hearing.

I appreciated all your comments and all your viewpoints, and I think it just reinforced how important it is that every state be able to set up and monitor their own elections.

I will strongly oppose moving any of those taxpayer dollars from the bipartisan infrastructure bill that we passed on a bipartisan basis to increase any more Federal permitting.

I don't believe there is any accountability for how you would spend those funds.

I am appalled by that.

In a rural state like mine, where nearly 94 percent of the fire departments, are entirely volunteer-run, programs like the Volunteer Fire Assistance Program are crucial.

I will strongly oppose moving any of those taxpayer dollars from the bipartisan infrastructure bill that we passed on a bipartisan basis to increase any more Federal permitting.

Our volunteer fire departments are essential to helping to control fires that are on Federal lands as well.

I was disappointed to see the program level funded in your fiscal year 2024 budget request, along with other important programs, like the State Fire Assistance Program.

I will continue to advocate for more funding for programs that truly are able to take care of the land that the Federal Government has.

This to me seems to be an expansion of executive power.

This was our 9/11.

Providing access to E15 helps families save money at the gas pump, it is better for our environment, and it boosts our nation's energy security.
