The decisions of Members of Congress make are only as good as the information that we have on hand to make judgments and conduct analysis.

Any recommendations to Congress would be appreciated. And perhaps if there is some emergency legislative measure that would allow us to tackle this problem which is contributing to price and stability and price increases, let's follow up…

The Senate has an obligation to conduct vigorous oversight and to be assertive in using our authorities

I want to thank you and your team for responding to the letter, the bipartisan letter that I sent with Senator Scott requesting reforms to FEMA disaster relief practices that were discriminatory against black Americans.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman, and thank you for convening this hearing.

We also need to think about how we connect with our communities, invest in our communities, so they feel safer without the need to overcriminalize.

I would argue that strengthening the Hate Crimes Statistics Act is the first and most compelling step to be taken.

It is, on the one hand, a signal of progress, I think, that Georgia elected for the first time a Black man and a Jewish man to represent our State in the U.S. Senate.

Do you agree that a priority for the U.S. government and the U.S. Congress should be expanding our nation's capacity to train highly qualified cybersecurity workforce?

Preventing the importation of goods produced with forced labor is a core priority for the U.S. Congress and the U.S. Government.

You should not have to take on a penny of debt to get a degree from a public college in this country.

A bipartisan promise made to America's teachers, to servicemembers, to others who take on public service, who pay their loans diligently for a decade.

We should be working to make access to job training and vocational skills free in this country.

It is vital, in my view, and I know I have discussed this with the Chairman as well, that this upcoming infrastructure bill includes significant investments in coastal resilience

The impacts of climate change and these events will not be uniformly distributed. Low-income communities, vulnerable communities, communities in the floodplain, communities who already live in under-resourced neighborhoods, dilapidated…

The most egregious part of S.B. 202, because, as you know, those local boards control the implementation of the process

Our own Republican Secretary of State in this most recent election was threatened with political and personal reprisal

Thank you, Madam Chair. Again, thanks to you for offering the people of Georgia the opportunity to express our dismay at the blatant targeting of voters of color in our state with this voter suppression legislation.

We need your help. We desperately need your help.

A partisan appointee can now take over local election boards

We are restricting access via this partisan legislation in Georgia passed by the Republican state legislature to voting by mail

It will force them to stand in line. Of course, all of the polling locations that have long lines have been documented to be in places where people of color exercise their right to vote.

The right to vote can never be taken for granted, and that vigilance is seriously needed today.
