I have been a very outspoken advocate for, obviously, safety in facilities, in all of our long-term care facilities.

We need competitive economic policies here at home to grow domestic manufacturing, and we need trade agreements that are enforceable that enable us to reach other markets.

What can we do in the tax code that you see at this point to attract some of those suppliers to be able to come to the United States?

What we need to avoid, Senator, is we need to avoid imposing tariffs that would end up causing retaliatory tariffs on our goods leaving the United States.

I think what we need to do is, again, retain our current competitive tax rate and ensure that we do not step backwards.

I have several questions to be able to go through with other folks here, but I am tracking through the Biden team that they have announced that they want the power sector to be 100 percent renewable by 2035.

I agree that it is important to foster innovation in medical technology, which has the potential to improve health-care outcomes.

Like President Biden, I believe we must do all we can to lower the costs of prescription drugs and make them more accessible for Americans who depend on these medications.

You cannot require someone to say something they disagree with.

Yes, this conscience issue is really important. For a health-care provider who believes that a child is a child, whether they are in the womb or whether they are outside the womb, that is a child that God created and it has value and worth.

The Quick Reaction Force was 25 minutes away.
