I think the federal, state and local level all failed the people of Flint, period.

Any efforts by Republicans in Congress and President Trump to remove environmental protections will have lasting consequences.

Our nation's crumbling infrastructure is a pressing issue that we must address.

May I just ask unanimous consent to put comments from Ford Motor Company in the record of this hearing?

Safety, including cyber security, has to be our top priority here.

I think it's critical that America be at the forefront of innovation and technology by taking the lead in developing these potentially lifesaving advances or we'll lose our competitive edge in this critical space.

Automated vehicles will help us save lives as many of my previous colleagues have noted, that since 94 percent of accidents are attributable to human error.

There's never been a more exciting time to be in the auto industry.
