Ensuring our ports are fully functional and operational from Lake Charles to Los Angeles is key to our Nation's recovery.

The port and associated businesses suffered over $240 million worth of damage between Hurricanes Laura and Delta.

The Port of Lake Charles relies on the Calcasieu Ship Channel for access to the Gulf.

Disruptions in our Nation's ports can have disastrous consequences to our Nation's supply chain.

Commerce, the future of our Nation, depends upon maritime trade.

We were all very disappointed when that previous administration under Governor Jindal, for whatever reason, rejected those resources, and we missed a great opportunity.

I can't tell you how grateful I am to you, Mr. Ross, and the Southern Rail Commission, for the incredible work that you do and have continued to do to hold this project together.

We should discuss, as a committee, from our heart, exactly what is impacting our veterans across the country.

Deterrence and response, in my opinion, are critical aspects to our mission to address the cyber threats that we are currently experiencing and the threats of tomorrow.

Our adversaries should have a clear understanding that the United States can and will execute effective and timely consequences if they attack our National critical cyber infrastructure.

Everyday importance of our cybersecurity systems grows as a matter of National security.

American patriots are so done with career politicians and Democrat Party Socialist insanity.

Inequity in Federal Government's disaster response is real and it has deeply injured my district in Southwest Louisiana.

We are very appreciative of the hard work of the nonprofits and to all the organizations here today that have stepped forward in this hour of need.

The committee must address the fallout, including any National security threats, due to the manner in which the United States withdrew from Afghanistan.

It is shameful, in my opinion, that only now has the Majority decided to hold a hearing on Afghanistan.

So, Mr. Parkinson, interestingly, it is my understanding there was a FirstNet public safety blimp operating in my district in Cameron, Louisiana following the hurricanes in 2020.

Effective emergency communications are critical to States that are subject to impact by a natural disaster like hurricanes response and recovery.

The attack that took place on January 6 was just sort-of unexpected and--I think it was--I don't know. Maybe--it certainly was unacceptable

In Austin, Texas, the police department was defunded to the tune of $150 million.

I am concerned about continued endeavors to defund the police.

On January 20, 2025, we are going to fix that.

The 2020 Presidential election was, indeed, compromised.

How dare the sovereign states and free Americans challenge the oppressive, omniscient authority of the all-powerful national Democratic machine?

I beg of you, madam, to let's make sure that our small towns, rural areas, poor communities get adequate attention and compassionate response.
