"Last summer, I was proud to introduce the Fair Repair Act, which is broadly focused on enhancing FTC authority."
"I recognize the importance of protecting trade secrets and other intellectual property rights."
"I believe this legislation is a beneficial starting point for discussions as to how to harmonize the needs of individual consumers and safeguarding American companies' intellectual property."
"I find it interesting that the right to repair debate does not divide itself deeply along partisan lines."
"I think if you think about sort of the whole notion of capitalism is this ability to compete, and competition typically has two benefits. One is innovation, and two is downward pressure on price."
"I think OEMs would be surprised maybe by how many independent repair shops... would be interested in purchasing that technology."
"I have often thought, if you really wanted to extend that to consumers, you would allow any third-party repair shop... to say, okay, as long as you meet these standards, you are an authorized dealer."
"I think if you are a farmer, you want to buy equipment and hopefully not just use it for the lease term of 5 years."
"I also think, not only can you own it, can you repair it, you can also sell it."
"I have worked with others and am proud to sponsor the Gun Theft Prevention Act, H.R. 4423."
"The result is that thousands of guns are not properly secured, and many dealers are repeatedly burglarized."
"My legislation would require ATF to inspect all gun dealers every 3 years."
