Mr. Secretary, since the bipartisan Orphan Drug Act was enacted into law 40 years ago, rare disease and cancer patients have benefitted from the development of over 600 new treatments.
It is on us to go after market share and create access for our products around the world.
Bold leadership is a necessity to ensure Americans succeed on the world stage.
I am concerned with the Biden administration unilaterally disarming the 301 investigations.
Without TPA, we leave a vacuum in the international marketplace that China is already capitalizing on.
The populist and national President has proven that he may be in our boat, but he may not be rowing in the same direction.
The Biden administration's timid approach to trade initiative is concerning.
We can't even keep balloons from flying across the United States. How are we going to hold them accountable to the OECD framework?
Every Oklahoman deserves the opportunity to thrive, and how are we providing that?
But while Americans can migrate to States with friendlier business climates, they still face an overbearing Federal government and burdensome policies from the Biden administration that stunt their growth.
Many Oklahomans ask me... what surprised me the most about being in Washington, D.C. And my response was then the same as it is now, is how many people talk about things they know absolutely nothing about.
Although my fellow Oklahomans here today are facing many challenges under this administration's economic policies, it is fair to say we are all proud to be Americans, but we thank God we are from Oklahoma.
For far too long, unelected bureaucrats and D.C. politicians have attacked the family run farms, energy producers, and manufacturing companies across the heartland.
I know firsthand the American people, not Washington, know what is best for all of us.
President Biden will want to make it even harder to pass the family farm down to the next generation.
Unfortunately, many job creators and entrepreneurs face unnecessary struggles because of this administration's harmful regulation and reckless spending.
Despite the last 2 years of what we have seen in this economy, this administration has chosen to stand by their tax and spend agenda that leaves everyday American taxpayers with less money in their pockets.
