We are very concerned that delaying the CIG project pipeline, while advancing only the Utah project, is potentially rooted in partisan political considerations, which could further violate statutory requirements.

“The growing backlog of projects in limbo due to FTA and OMB inaction is unacceptable.”

I am committed to using every tool to protect free and fair elections, and the new Senate Election Observer Program will do just that.
