Protecting and restoring clean water is essential for human health and for a robust regional economy.

We strongly urge you to maintain funding for these programs at fiscal year 2017 levels.

I think the Job Corps that we have in Alaska has been successful.

I believe that public-private partnerships like the ones that you describe can be a major part of the future of workforce development.

I would just urge you, as you review the situation with the H2B visas, I would urge that you seek permanent solutions to this.

I would also urge that this be placed as a very high and an immediate priority--

I would urge you in that vein as you're looking at Job Corps and other job training.

We need Congress to significantly increase the investment in our national parks, our forest lands, and other public lands.

The backlog, in order to truly and meaningfully address it, is going to take real dollars to resolve.

If we do not make the necessary investments to prevent and defend against and minimize the impact of these cyberattacks, our enemies may succeed in causing a widespread blackout or devastation to our economy that is so important to…

I am glad that the President has made infrastructure a national priority.
