I look forward to working with my colleagues to ensure that the investments started in the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law are continued.

I think that taxpayers, the United States taxpayers, would want us to prioritize, first and foremost, American-taxpaying companies.

The only question is how much.

In my district, the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law has translated into over $550 million for more than 100 local projects.

So, we are trying to balance getting these projects built quickly with the idea that we want these jobs to be for American workers.

I am gravely concerned about nuclear proliferation, and sincerely hope my colleagues share that concern.

Congress must do better to support Coasties, and I hope my colleagues will join me in my demand for significant increases to the Coast Guard's budget.

The Coast Guard alone is uniquely situated to execute these missions.

I want to take this opportunity to discuss what has been and continues to be my top priority for the Coast Guard: its people.

Drug interdiction stops the flow of drugs before they reach American shores and combats transnational criminal organizations.

The strong relationship with Panama and the associated benefits to the United States should be replicated in many other places across the world.

The Coast Guard's role in migrant interdiction ensures that the least fortunate among us who choose to board a vessel to come to the United States do not perish at sea.

Members of the Coast Guard are truly the backbone of the Service.

Combating international illegal, unreported, and unregulated fishing ensures equitable access to food, safeguards our oceans, and prevents forced labor and human trafficking.

I have introduced H.R. 3360, the National Infrastructure Investment Corporation Act of 2023, with Representative Webster.
