Mark Kelly

SRP thanks Senators Kelly and Sinema for introducing the Colorado River Indian Tribes Water Resiliency Act of 2021.

We write today to express our appreciation to Senators Kelly and Sinema for leading efforts in Arizona.

Ultimately, the importance of our water rights settlement and the WMAT Rural Water System to the health and welfare of our people cannot be overstated.

I understand and appreciate the importance of carefully considering any potential changes to the Clean Water State Revolving Loan Fund formula.

Is there anything you could share about the timing for the MEGA Projects Program?

I was really proud to have had the opportunity to work to craft the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, both as a member of this Committee but also in the group of members that negotiated the final deal.

In Arizona, one top priority is funding to strengthen our State's interstate highways.

What do you think applicants might need to do to be successful in applying for these funds?

I have spent 6 and a half hours on that highway, stuck in a traffic jam when the normal drive is about 90 minutes.

Nuclear energy is critical to our shared goal of reducing carbon emissions and fighting the effects of climate change.

This legislation further strengthen U.S. global leadership in next-generation nuclear energy technologies to compete with China and Russia.

I fought to secure $5 billion for investments for superfund sites and brownfield cleanups, including for more than 500 abandoned uranium mines on the Navajo Nation.

I visited with seniors at a senior center in northern Arizona maybe about 6 months ago...

As we begin drafting the 2022 WRDA bill, it is important to me that we ensure the Army Corps of Engineers has the authorities and the resources necessary to respond to the drought that is facing Arizona and other western States.

I am concerned about cryptocurrency and unstablecoins.

Key issue to address as it relates to stablecoins is insuring sufficient transparency to protect the users.

I think it is one of the things our country does so well.

I would appreciate it if you do have the opportunity to do that analysis, if you do, if you could get back to my staff.

Hard working families in my state who commute to work and drop their kids off at school every day are seeing their costs go up and they need some relief.

This is affecting real people in my state who have real jobs.

In Arizona, we have incredible community colleges and workforce training programs. And, you know, these programs can build the workforce that we need.

A few months ago, I helped to craft the bipartisan Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, which passed the Senate in August.

This is a good bill. It makes historic investments in our Nation's critical infrastructure, improving our roads, bridges, drinking water, ports of entry, and other things.

All of these investments are going to create millions of good-paying jobs.

I fought to include $10 billion in the bipartisan Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act for PFAS cleanup efforts.
