I can't think of a worse first step this Committee could take in a new Congress than to waste taxpayer dollars.

The State's process is solid and fair, and we can trust the outcome.

Taking up this election contest would set a dangerous precedent that candidates don't have to exhaust their legal options.

I am just excited to see the student loan program that has been very successful in helping congressional staffers be able to pay off their student debt.

I think it is important to have more public hearings on very pressing issues within our jurisdiction and be less reliant on committee polls.

I was encouraged by President Biden's call for unity in his inaugural speech, and I hope this Committee will follow that call to action.

We are going to have a good time.

Common ground is when we are together, when we are face to face.

I believe getting this Committee back to regular order can help us increase transparency and hopefully it will improve bipartisan relations as well.

We have a responsibility to the taxpayers to, not only work together, but to also run this Committee in a transparent way.

I am hopeful our hearing room will reopen soon so we can work together in person.
