Bob Menendez Jr.: “democracy can be fragile and requires vigilance.”

I have been a strong proponent of the FAA making this rulemaking a priority.

Thank you for convening today's hearing on port cybersecurity and for allowing me to waive on.

I am proud to have worked with my fellow members of this committee to pass the bipartisan FAA Reauthorization Act of 2024, which contains many provisions that are aimed at addressing our aviation workforce needs.

We have to be a good partner here at the Federal level to ensure that we provide those resources to get those EV charging stations and infrastructure into all types of communities.
