"Promoting economic recovery is not enough. International assistance needs to also address Egypt's socioeconomic divisions, expand its political space, and promote transparency, legitimacy, and account..."

"We are going to hold Egypt to its commitments about peace with Israel."

"Obviously, we need to be realistic. Consolidating Egypt's democratic advances and addressing its economic woes is probably going to take a generation or so."

"If confirmed, I will do everything I can to support the aspirations of the Egyptian people during this period of transition."
