If a State as liberal as California can recognize that a one-size-fits-all mandate on gig workers would be destructive, it should be obvious that the Biden Administration should not take those same actions.

It is ridiculous that our securities laws force most everyday Americans to the sidelines of early-growth investment opportunities.

Like so many other bad progressive ideas sold under the guise of investor protection, Democrats' proposals will ultimately reduce access to investment opportunities.

We learned that everyday Americans have a newfound interest in the markets, and that is positive.

The private sector is innovating in new ways to meet the needs of all of our consumers, and we should be encouraging our regulators to seek regulatory requirements that fit these advancements, not hinder them.

It is clear that my colleagues on the other side of the aisle want to relive old debates here in the committee.

Years of climate talks have resulted in handshakes and a lot of photo ops, but little action...

This legislation seeks to flip the script on the narrative and encourages U.S. representatives at the multilateral development banks...

Adding more regulations would now be like a judge handing down a sentence before any charges are actually filed.

These calls for more regulation, I think are ill-advised and premature, for multiple reasons.

I have publicly called for them to release that study.

Let's remove these hurdles and move forward. Let's find a way to work together to harness the power of financial innovation.

Their agenda creates perverse incentives, bad policy outcomes, and rampant inequality that they then can seize on politically.

Democrats are using GameStop to justify more regulations, greater restrictions, and putting more costs onto businesses and everyday investors.

I fear a pattern is emerging here that regardless of the facts or data, Democrats are going to use every opportunity to justify their priorities.

If my colleagues truly want to have conversations around ensuring consumers do not slip through the cracks, I believe this committee should focus on common-sense solutions that seek to broaden the pool of individuals involved in the…
