The Public Record
James Mountain Inhofe is a former United States Senator from Oklahoma, serving from 1994 to 2021. A member of the Republican Party, Inhofe is known for his strong conservative views, particularly on issues related to national defense and environmental policy. He gained notoriety for his skepticism regarding climate change, famously calling it a hoax. Throughout his tenure, he held significant positions, including Chairman of the Senate Armed Services Committee and the Senate Environment and Public Works Committee.
It is very telling when you have a Democrat Senator who is generally supportive of the EPA's efforts calling the final rule a slap in the face.
Are universities and technology institutions graduating both the numbers needed to fill force requirements and personnel with the right skill sets to ensure we maintain a dominant offensive and defensive capable cyber force?

Has the DOD established a pipeline for the development of a future cyber force?
Do you have the rules of engagement you need or do they need to be modified?
Do you consider all cyber-attacks against the U.S. a national security threat?
How are we addressing the recruiting and sustainment of personnel to eliminate critical cyber expert shortages?
In my view, the ESA is broken, and since 1973, when you have just about 1 percent recovered, that, I do not think is a success.
I believe the flexibility of the Endangered Species Act is there when you look for it and you work for it.
I hope to work with our Governors and the Service to develop a bipartisan legislative proposal to address these needs and to put the ESA back to work for species recovery.
