Mark Kelly

So, there is guidance?

I want to say how grateful I am for Chairman Carper's engagement and shared commitment to a path forward.

Racing is a very important thing to many Arizonans. It is part of our State's legacy.

I appreciate your testimony on the RPM Act.

If there is no further business to come before the Senate, I ask that it stand adjourned under the previous order. There being no objection, the Senate, at 7:06 p.m., adjourned until Thursday, July 28, 2022, at 10 a.m. ____________________

Freeport is grateful for Senators Kirsten Sinema and Mark Kelly's support and assistance in introducing this long-awaited and critical piece of legislation.

He believed that she could do it and he really helped her do it.

That is why today I am joining Chairman Casey, Senator Young, and Ranking Member Scott to introduce the Informing Grandfamilies Act.

The price of prescription medication is too high. I mean, it goes up faster than inflation, faster than the price of gasoline lately.

I am glad we are having this hearing today. This is an important topic.

Since 2021, since this American Rescue Plan passed, more people died from COVID than did before. That is a fact.

I believe that if we want to make progress toward improving air quality, we have to have some achievable benchmarks.

You guys owe us a 30-year ship plan. You've owed us that since I've been here.

It is critical that we have a whole of government response to the drought conditions in Arizona and throughout the western United States.

The worst drought conditions in 1,200 years.

The Biden budget includes several misplaced priorities, while it fails to fund programs critical to national security.

I truly believe that food security and the ability to produce in all conditions is national security.

Thank you for that. It is really a big deal in the State of Arizona.

I hope you will relook the ship plan. I mean the Marines say they need 31 amphibs. Yet, DOD says we are only going to give you 24.

But we need to--you would agree that that logistic chain, I mean, the reason the Russians are getting their tail kicked in Ukraine right now is a logistical failure.

I just think the world environment that has changed in the last month or 6 weeks with the Russian invasion of Ukraine, I just hope we relook that.
