It is the American people that we serve.

I think all of us have allowed COVID to manage us too long. It is time to manage it.

I do remain concerned Director Yang of potential OFCCP discrimination regarding faith-based organizations.

It's ironic that an agency tasked with preventing and combatting unlawful discrimination is pushing the door open for faith-based organizations to be discriminated against.

The work of EEOC and OFCCP is important. It too often becomes a weapon against job creators.

One of the gaps that we have in our healthcare coverage is people who may be changing jobs.

I am committed to ensuring that the Lower Four Snake River Dams (LSRD) continue their vital mission to provide reliable, clean, and renewable energy.

Thank you for the opportunity to provide testimony regarding the Water Resources Development Act of 2022.

I am excited that we have the opportunity now to extend this authority, in a pilot program, to the Army Corps of Engineers.

I just wanted to point that out. There's over 19,000 that are participating today. Why would we want to take that away?

Thank you, Madam Chair. I have a letter form the Ethics and Public Policy Center that I'd like to submit for the record that explains why it's crucial for existing legal protections, for faith-based providers to remain in place.

I think right now as a Congress we are struggling with our relations.

A greater emphasis on program performance will ensure that Federal anti-poverty programs are successfully helping individuals move out of poverty.

Our programs to help those in need, including CSBG should all be focused on helping to raise individuals out of poverty.

We should not be content to have vulnerable, low-income, and impoverished Americans remain locked in their current economic position.

I hope that you will not nationalize the culture war that started in Virginia and bankrupt Critical Race Theory with hard earned taxpayer dollars.

The Department of Education is incompetent.

Our constitution guarantees the right to due process.

China should not be given free rein on our college campuses.

Indoctrinating children is a violation of Federal law.

The pandemic is over, and I expect the Secretary to take ownership of his bureaucracy's responsibility to America's students and taxpayers.

Unnecessarily long shutdowns did incalculable harm to those children, their families, and their communities.

I'm going to shift gears to a different top really quick before my time is up.

We as families, certainly in my State... face what we call the family glitch problem.

Idaho's ESTPs have been a critical option for people in my State who may be changing jobs, in temporary employment, or starting a new job and awaiting health insurance.
