I rise today to discuss the bipartisan Energy Policy Modernization Act, which passed the Senate yesterday with my strong support. This bill will help improve the energy efficiency of our buildings and appliances, saving Michiganders money…

I would certainly urge all of my colleagues to oppose the Coats amendment. What this does is eliminate a program that basically pays for a very carefully crafted agreement on which we are working to deal with the Flint water issue, as well…

I thank Mr. Kilmer for his leadership on this and for coming to join us today. Speaking of climate change and those kinds of issues, front and center in the changing economy in this decade is a fundamental shift in the way that we provide…

Americans have seen a change in our economy firsthand and are concerned about what it means for their place in a new economy. We can't stop the forces that are transforming our economy and our world, but we can and we must look to the…

I rise to urge swift passage of the bipartisan Federal Aviation Administration Reauthorization Act of 2016 currently pending on the Senate floor. This legislation supports U.S. jobs and promotes competition while increasing safety in the…
