Building pedestrian infrastructure into how we design our streets saves lives.

Super Storm Sandy resulted in a whopping $8 million of physical damage to the region's transportation infrastructure.

I am very concerned about ensuring that our military is prepared to address cyber threats to our country.

I want to ensure that the needs of the States are part of any decisionmaking equation about how to deal with sequestration.

I am proud to support Loretta Lynch's nomination to be the next Attorney General of the United States.

To serve as United States Attorney General requires deep experience in the field of law.

I believe she deserves a quick confirmation process.

She is strong, tough, independent, and fearless.

I would like to thank President Obama for acting on my recommendation and nominating another superbly qualified female jurist to the Federal bench.

I urge swift approval of her nomination.

Our country would be stronger with women like LaShann DeArcy Hall serving on the Federal bench.

This implication is that somehow we can't have both a clean environment and a healthy economy. This is something I strongly disagree with.

At a time when pictures of smog-filled foreign capitals are making front pages around the world, the United States should be taking the lead on the issue of air quality.

I find it especially disturbing that more than 35.6 million children under 18 right here in the United States live in counties that have poor air quality.

I believe it is an urgent public health challenge and we have to take it very seriously.

In the richest and most innovative Country on earth, it is stunning that our air quality is moving back in this direction in the year 2014, and we have to reverse the trend.

My desire, quite frankly, is to increase the budget however we can.

High-frequency trading poses a dual risk: one, by creating a mechanism for bad actors to manipulate the markets through disruptive practices such as spoofing; and, two, by creating propensity to negatively affect market stability.

I particularly want to thank my Senator, Kirsten Gillibrand, for her tireless work on behalf of survivors

I strongly believe that we should require schools to provide comprehensive training to individuals who serve on a campus adjudication panel.

The University of Virginia experience should intensify and increase our determination to make this process worthy of the courage of survivors who do come forward.

The Title IX system, while it is there for the redress of victims, it is there primarily to force college campuses to provide a safe and crime-free and discrimination-free campus.

I have been involved in helping to write the bill that Senator McCaskill and Senator Gillibrand and I have done

I look forward to today's testimony and to identify areas where we can improve our criminal justice system and the way it responds to campus sexual assault.

The facts that according to one study nearly one in five women in college will be victims of sexual assault or attempted assault during their undergraduate careers should shake the conscience of all of us and it demands action.
