Amy Klobuchar

I have introduced legislation called the Child Care Supply Improvement Act, which is specifically designed to help smaller childcare providers.

I am glad to have the support of Senators Warren and Wyden and Brown and Casey.

I am working with the Antitrust Subcommittee on a number of pieces of legislation, which would be helpful, I believe, in this market.

I think it is important, and I think it is definitely better for the security of our food system to have more small and regional packers.

The pandemic painfully exposed high risk to our food supplies.

We cannot give up, our democracy is too important.

I believe in abolishing the filibuster. I’ve come to that belief after seeing years and years of obstruction on everything, from immigration reform to climate change as we’re heading into this hot summer, as well as voting rights.

We are not ending this fight. And one of the ways we do that is getting out of this Capitol dome and heading out to the States.

This is a fundamental right shared by Democrats, Republicans, independents, anyone that wants to vote in America, something our whole country was founded on, the simple idea of democracy.

I favor abolishing the filibuster, and I came to that decision after years of inaction, after seeing how important legislation on things like climate change, and immigration reform, things where there was even bipartisan agreement got…

We were reminded on January 6th that it is up to us to protect against threats to our democracy. Honestly, I would love to get some support from the other side of the aisle, but we have to be honest, I don’t expect we’re going to get it.

One large barrier is the fact that we have got not enough biofuel infrastructure.

I was so disappointed with some of the recent reports that the Administration is considering... exempting oil refineries from the RFS obligations.

Thank you very much to my colleague, Senator Smith, for your leadership on this Subcommittee and also for having the wisdom to put so many Minnesotans on the panel.

We are a bit behind in that area.

As we consider major investments, and this could not be more timely, this hearing, in infrastructure, we want to make sure that our networks are, what we call, future proof and that they also, as the focus here today, are better able to…

Those funds that are being raised for that purpose, should be used for that purpose.

I think it is time for action.

The COVID-19 vaccines do protect against the Delta variant is what the science tells us right now?

I think that is very helpful, just to remind people that we do have science and facts and data that back up what we are doing.

I think it is really important for the Democratic Party to stand up against what the Republicans are doing here.

Joe Manchin is coming at this with good faith.

I am leading that bill in the Senate.

What's going on is pure evil.

Everything should be considered.
