Obviously, we all want to stop bad guys or gals before they get on a plane.

The TSA is critical and must do everything in their power to not just improve security at our airports, but also along our highways, rail, transit lines, and ports.

I saw this in Newark first-hand, the devastating and challenging detrimental impacts of lead poisoning on our kids.

While we have made great strides to prevent terrorist incidents in the aviation sector, I think there is still work to do to improve gaps in our surface transportation system.

If you get this done, you will make a difference that could be thousands of lives saved.

What you're doing is really a life or death initiative.

the people that have the first responder's backs should be elevated too.

I wish to introduce the Compassionate Access, Research Expansion, and Respect States Act CARERS Act. This commonsense legislation would make our Federal marijuana criminal laws fairer and more in line with our values and ensure that…

So I just celebrate you, and I also celebrate you in a sense that you're working through bureaucracy that is not used to dealing with this very unique public-private partnership that you have.

I think any American shares the goals of making the trucking industry, which is so vital to our nation's economy, not just good and not just meeting minimum standards but, frankly, see what we can do to make it even more robust as a more…

I cannot tell you how grateful I am for those good words from my colleague. Truly, they resonate with my heart and my spirit. The gravity of this historic moment is not lost on me. It is a tribute to his character that he cosponsored this…
