“I thank the gentleman for yielding, and I appreciate the opportunity to speak in strong support of the TRACED Act. The bipartisan provision I co-led with Representatives Clarke, Van Drew, Bilirakis, Foxx, and Walberg to address one-ring scams will make the finances of vulnerable Americans--especially seniors--more secure and the lives of all people in Orange County and across the country a little more peaceful. We can all agree that it is time to provide Americans with a greater sense of security when it comes to our phones. We shouldn't have to worry about unsolicited robocalls, and the vast array of tactics bad actors are using to target our pocketbooks and our privacy. This bicameral and bipartisan bill is a big step forward in combating robocalls, and I am thankful for the bipartisan group of legislators who reached across the aisle to protect Americans' bank accounts and their sanity. I urge strong support of this bill.”
