Clearly, the testimony underscored the importance of congressional action, and I look forward to working with my colleagues on this Committee in a bipartisan manner.

the Government has a clear, compelling interest in protecting the integrity of the electoral process.

I believe strongly in the First Amendment, and I think that is a critical part of our democracy.
