I want to take this opportunity to thank Senator Landrieu, our subcommittee's Ranking Member, and to recognize her continued commitment to improving life for the residents of the District of Columbia.
Mike DeWine
The Public Record
Mike DeWine is the 70th Governor of Ohio, having taken office on January 14, 2019. A member of the Republican Party, he previously served as the Attorney General of Ohio from 2011 to 2019 and as a U.S. Senator from 1995 to 2007. Throughout his political career, DeWine has focused on issues such as education, public safety, and healthcare reform. His administration has also been marked by responses to the COVID-19 pandemic and efforts to improve the state's economy.
We see this Memorial and that tribute to law enforcement as something we want to see.
No. We also need an additional buffer because CDC acknowledges that it will take until 2006 before we can have a six-month stockpile of childhood vaccines. That is why I joined you and Senator Reed in introducing the Childhood Vaccine…
We also plan on holding a hearing on that issue in June, and we will examine that issue as well.
vigorous antitrust enforcement we believe remains vitally important to ensuring that our markets function properly
Senator Kohl and I do plan on holding an Antitrust Subcommittee hearing next month on the News Corp-DirecTV deal.
We cannot, with the current political situation in Haiti, we cannot channel money through the government of Haiti.

Senate Bill 1139, introduced by Senator Mike DeWine and Senator Frank Lautenberg, provides funding for increased enforcement efforts across the country.
Is Ms. Hamilton correct when she is saying that States could actually, under your proposal, divert the money to highway construction?
Why in the world do we keep waiting until we get the fifth or sixth fatality when we know, and everyone in the community knows, this is a bad intersection.
I think a bigger percentage of that bill should be absolutely dedicated to focusing on trying to eliminate the hazards on the highway.
The key, it seems to me, we are all for flexibility, but it is clear from your comments earlier you are for flexibility but you are also for accountability.
I believe that the money we are talking about today, frankly, should primarily be going for education issues and behavioral modification issues.
And let me just say, as a former prosecutor and also someone who, as lieutenant governor of the State of Ohio, one of my responsibilities was to oversee our prison system, that the special population worries me more than the other…
The only reason you go to a system like this and put the money into it is so that your caseworkers have more time to be caseworkers.
But for you to come in front of this committee, or it is not just this committee, but in front of the public, in a public meeting or anyplace, and not be able to answer that basic question is a real problem.
