Nothing is more important than the integrity of our elections right now.

I do not know if you got to say everything you wanted to say regarding how that affected the businesses in your state and the effect on exports.

I think it is one of the top 20 fastest-growing occupations, is cybersecurity jobs.

It is paramount that the U.S. Government ensures our cyber capabilities maintain pace with the lightning speed evolution of technological change.

Cyber incidents are increasing at a staggering rate, with threat vectors and opportunities for attack rising as quickly as new technologies are developed.

I look forward to supporting CISA as it adapts and evolves to address the challenges ahead.

I believe that Congress must appropriately consult with players such as each of our witnesses today to implement practical legislation that will successfully play out in the real world.

For many of my constituents, Sandy caused such catastrophic damage that they are still recovering from it today.

Taking the right steps around pre-disaster mitigation will save not only lives, but also countless taxpayer dollars.

I appreciate the increase in funding. I think that is great.

This year I led the fiscal year 2023 New York bipartisan delegation letter to the Appropriations Committee requesting robust funding for FEMA State and local grants to provide much-needed resilience funding to mitigate man-made and natural…

The money needs to get out the door because cybersecurity waits for no one.

This year I led the Fiscal Year 2023 New York Bipartisan Delegation letter to the Appropriations Committee requesting robust funding for FEMA State and local grants.

I think the State takes as much as 20 percent off the top, which reduces the amount of monies that the counties have to spend.

We simply must do more to adapt Government standards to not only meet, but exceed, adversarial capabilities like those of the Russian SolarWinds campaign.

I have long maintained that CISA is uniquely equipped to lead the Federal Government on cybersecurity measures.

The Federal Government must also be a bold example for industry and set the bar high for enterprise network resilience.

The SolarWinds breach of December 2020 was a wake-up call to the vulnerabilities that exist within the Federal enterprise.

With all the people coming, I just think we should----

Why are we decreasing the amount of facility beds?

We need to make sure we double down and CISA gets every resource that it absolutely needs to protect us.

I look forward to hearing the testimony of the witnesses today, especially from Sheriff Dannels, who is on the front lines in southern Arizona and knows first-hand how the border crisis is impacting our communities.

This has got to stop.

Drugs, such as fentanyl, methamphetamine, and other fentanyl-laced drugs are pouring across the Southern Border and are destroying our communities and ending the lives of thousands of Americans every year.

Our border security and immigration system cannot handle any more pull factors as the Biden administration has proven unwilling to secure our Southern Border.
