Cory Gardner is a former Republican U.S. Senator from Colorado, serving from 2015 to 2021. He was the first Republican to win a U.S. Senate seat in Colorado since 2002. During his tenure, Gardner focused on issues such as energy policy, healthcare, and national security.

And I think that is the interesting point that you make because talking about our unclear reaction or I think as you said it, we were less clear than we should have been in response to the AIIB, talking about the amount of investments that…
I think both Senator Cardin and I continue to seek answers on how well we are doing.
As we negotiate the TPP and the opening that it creates, is USAID planning on increasing trade capacity-building efforts in the Asia-Pacific region? And if so, to what extent?
Following up on that, the countries in the region where these challenges are most prominent--what are they, and what is USAID's plan to address these challenges?
If you could give me that percentage, that would be fantastic, just the estimate of what we currently spend on trade capacity-building efforts in the Asia-Pacific region.
I want to thank Senator Cardin for his continued efforts in this subcommittee and support for holding this important hearing.
If there is no further business to come before the Senate, I ask unanimous consent that it stand adjourned under the previous order. There being no objection, the Senate, at 6:19 p.m., adjourned until Monday, June 15, 2015, at 2 p.m…
I think this is important that we find a solution to this, that we find a way that we can make this work.
I think in May of this year, the State of Colorado committed to spending $1 million for track maintenance along the Southwest Chief line.
Two hundred twenty jobs directly at the mine, millions of dollars in tax revenues, 220 jobs and two communities in Western Colorado, gone.
Recently a court decision in Colorado has basically called into question the permit for a mine in the Colowyo Mine.
This court decision which was brought an unbelievable eight years later, has the potential to wipe out two communities in Northwestern Colorado.
We need to engage with the fence-sitters--India, Brazil, Turkey, the big new powers, South Africa--and keep them comfortable on this, but we do not want to give them a veto.
I talked about elevating the importance of cyber issues amongst our diplomatic corps.
It is time for you guys to get into this business, so I am really happy to see you doing this.
There is a real fear that, if we move in a like-minded direction, we will lose the Indias and the Brazils in this world.
We have developed, 4 years ago, the International Strategy for Cyberspace. It is now 4 years old.
