Thank you for walking the walk and not just talking the talk.

The Corps only formulates projects to address coastal and river storm surge and not the other impacts of climate change.

This legislation envisions a better way for the Nation to prepare for future needs to address the problems that will only be exacerbated in the near future.

We're delighted to be your partner in all of this and other issues as well.

Thank you very much, General.

We're grateful, extremely grateful for the investments in infrastructure that are coming to Delaware through the bipartisan infrastructure bill.

My hope is that we can buildupon and improve the Nuclear Energy Innovation and Modernization Act which became law in 2019.

the role of government is to do for the people what they cannot do for themselves.

my mom raised my sister and me to believe in practicing the Golden Rule, treat other people the way we want to be treated.
