"I urge this Committee to be thoughtful in reviewing what will work best to compensate victims and not give an unfair advantage to big oil in the future."

"I will not stand for offshore drilling anywhere that can affect my State of New Jersey or my nearby States because the spillover is obvious."

"For those of us along the Atlantic, we want to see much more than a pause button."
