This is not a Republican or Democrat issue. This is just a good for America issue, and being able to deliver on this this year has been a good first start.

That’s how we keep Iowa’s next generation rooted in the communities they love and keep our rural economy strong.

This investment means a kid in Atlantic or Clarinda can train to become a welder, electrician, plumber, or manufacturer right here at home — preparing for the jobs local employers across the region need filled today.

In small towns across southwest Iowa, too many young people who want a good-paying career in trades have had to leave home to get the training they need, and too many never come back.

It means a real future for a family that wants to be able to get into that first home.

Every Iowa town deserves strong public safety, regardless of size or geography, and I'm proud to help lead this bipartisan effort to boost hiring and resources for law enforcement in our small and rural communities.

We’ve been very clear that the headache with the federal bureaucracy largely resides within the national capital region.

The 2017 tax credit has been a critical lifeline for all Americans, but particularly those right here in Iowa.

I am proud that on day one as a freshman on this panel, I went against the establishment to make sure that we fought for key taxes that impact our State.

I think we need more of these hearings outside of the beltway and right in the corn belt.

I am glad that this Committee has moved a bipartisan bill forward to help young and beginning farmers, to help provide the safety net.

Farmers are digging in their pocket to be able to plant the crop that feeds and fuels this country at a deficit to themselves.

It is not just the family farm that is impacted by this, it is every rural community, it is every city in America.

We lead in pork, we lead in corn, we lead in eggs, we lead in biofuels.

I have fought as the guy from Iowa for year-round sale of E15. I think it is very important.

The EPA has been very quick to regulate farmers, but very slow to actually help farmers answer the questions.

We also have to be singing from the same song book, understanding what is happening.

Under SEC Chairman Gensler's leadership, in Iowa, my home State, small and mid-sized businesses are being crushed by both ill-thought-out rules and increased compliance costs.

Chairman Behnam, thank you very much for the work that the CFTC and your team has done in this area.

We have received some feedback from a number of stakeholders regarding some downstream impacts of Basel III and its proposal on the derivative markets and ultimately the end-user.

We all know in this city, that type of bipartisan agreement is something that should be celebrated.

I am proud to have co-led the Protect Small Business and Prevent Illicit Financial Activity Act.

I have witnessed continuous decisions that have hurt small businesses back in my home State of Iowa.

Regulators, namely the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC), the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), and the prudential regulators, must not make hedging so costly it becomes prohibitively expensive for end-users to manage…

I want to commend you for your Committee on advancing a budget resolution for Fiscal Year 2024 that would reduce the national deficit by $16 trillion and balance our Federal budget within ten years.
