Tom Carper: “I know of no one in the Senate who is a more thoughtful member than Senator Lankford.”

We are better off when we hear community concerns at the beginning of the process rather than at the end.

For too long, the seats have not been filled, and not been filled properly.

We help make the rules for the country, and we do not do this by ourselves.

Public engagement can build trust, it can increase public buy-in, can help resolve issues, can help prevent litigation, and ultimately it can save time and money.
