This vaccine mandate is illegal. This vaccine mandate is unconstitutional.

I have always advocated for a strong domestic supply chain.

This decaying economic environment is the direct result of liberal policies that have disincentivized business investment.

the fact that we are going to lose some of them, a good number of them if--unless this vaccine mandate changes is obviously, I think, going to increase that challenge even more.

I was really pleased to work with Commandant Schultz to get phase 1 of the Training Center Cape May recapitalization project listed as the Coast Guard's number one housing shore infrastructure budget priority for 2021.

It is imperative that this current project not fall short.

The U.S. Coast Guard is expanding operations across the country, of course, as you know, and across the world.

We can build all the cutters in the world, but we need personnel training to operate those vessels.

some believe in their personal freedom and will not get the vaccine.

vaccine mandates are crippling their industry's ability to recover from this pandemic.

This investment ensures that the Coast Guard will have the workforce it needs to accomplish its mission at home and abroad.

That is the reason why we are asking the administration, you know, to at least give some sense of parity when it comes to the vaccine mandate deadlines.
