I am particularly concerned about a proposed bill, the Corporate Governance Reform and Transparency Act, which would create structural obstacles for shareholders to hold corporate management accountable.

If we focus on passing laws that enhance investor confidence instead of undermining it, we end up helping those businesses too.

I hope we can count on you when there are members of this committee and there are politicians in this town who love to talk in a deceitful way, frankly, by playing with numbers, about fraud and the Earned Income Tax Credit, always…

Senator Jack Reed's bill would promote more disclosure on cybersecurity.

We should be pushing for more shareholder engagement and oversight, for more transparency, not less.

I appreciate Senator Corker's comments. I appreciate a little less those of Senator Toomey, who tried to say that I was thinking that the People's Republic of China has an economy we should emulate. What I actually said--and I have seen…

I reserve the right to object. My colleague raises concerns about the effect of retaliatory tariffs on our farmers and others. I couldn't agree more, but we should not pit farmers against steelworkers. Only a few days after Candidate Trump…

Senator Van Hollen's proposal would require companies to close loopholes to prevent insider trading.

The short-term focus is painfully obvious when you consider that last year's tax bill sparked a record level of stock buybacks, $480 billion since it passed.

we know Americans work harder and longer than ever before and have less and less to show for it. Hard work doesn't pay off the way it used to. Workers in Ohio have known that for a long time--that their paychecks don't stretch far enough…

I ask unanimous consent that the order for the quorum call be rescinded. The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered. A Living Wage

The government needs tools to prevent these companies from jacking up the price of lifesaving drugs.

that is just Part D, not everyone. That is not everyone we need to protect, so work with us on that.

My Stop Price Gouging Act would give the government the tools it needs to hold these bad actors accountable.

The fact that there is absolutely no repercussion for a company that engages in this type of predatory behavior is a problem surely that contributes to our broken drug pricing system.

something that is shameful and embarrasses all of us as members of this government.

Because Medicare cannot negotiate drug prices, it seems some unscrupulous companies see that as an open door to gouge the government and to gouge all the rest of us too.

the situation continues, of course, to be extremely troubling to anyone paying attention.

last Friday was a dark day for American workers and a dark day for the American auto industry. On the very same day that General Motors laid off the entire second shift at the historic Lordstown plant in the Mahoning Valley in Northeast…

on behalf of Senator Murray, I ask unanimous consent that a fellow on Senator Murray's Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions Committee staff, Lori Achman, be granted floor privileges through August 3, 2018. The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without…

the images that we have seen from our own country over the past few days are shocking and heartbreaking. They don't reflect our values as a nation. I am glad the President is reversing course. I am glad that he is signing something…

I often say, if we do not address unfairly traded steel imports now, China and other countries will just move down the supply chain.

Senator Grassley and I want to get this bill signed into law.

the banks are, in his word, his agency's 'customers' and 'partners.'

rather than invest in their workers and communities, big banks are plowing profits into pushing up their stock price.
