Do you agree that tolling should accommodate those with lower incomes or anyone from whom tolling would pose a hardship?

Local leaders in Oregon are vocal about being left out of the process for tolling.

My position is clear: I oppose tolling.

I am committed to get this application moved forward.

How is it fair to require a small community to essentially recomplete it over and over again for 3 years?

So far, I am championing nine legislative items in the Congress to tackle these important issues, and this is an issue that I will continue to focus on.

One of my highest priorities is to find solutions to help Oregonians address the challenges of wildfires.

Tuition should reflect the expected return on investment that the degree provides graduates in the workforce.

I believe universities know full well that engineering students will graduate with higher paying jobs, than maybe say an English major.

Let us compare this to the work of the previous administration, who worked every day to repeal important accountability measures that were meant to protect students originally put in place by Democrats.

As a result, the Biden administration has forgiven more than 13.3 billion for one million borrowers.

Stronger accountability regulations in higher education saves students money and prevents them from wasting money on worthless degrees.

To ensure students have access to the promise of higher education, the Department of Education must hold bad actors in higher education accountable for student success.

Let us be crystal clear; the evidence is everywhere in every segment of society that a college degree is the surest path to the American dream.

I want to figure out a way to save our taxpayer dollars.

I am appreciative of that, that I think you all recognize that we are wasting taxpayer dollars left and right.

I think, as a new Member of Congress, recognizing the work that goes into holding our real estate portfolio, when we often think that that is a private-sector issue and knowing that we have hundreds of millions of square feet that are…

Last, our effort to promote transparency and accountability should never be subject to politics or partisanship.

We all agree that keeping America at the forefront of innovation and progress requires transparency in our academic and research ecosystems.

Again, I want to thank the witnesses for their testimonies in today's hearing.

If you want the Federal Government to financially support your apprenticeship program, you have got to meet the standards, which make registered apprenticeships so appealing to the workers.

I think investing in the opportunity to actually better understand the American workforce is going to better serve all actors within the workforce ecosystem.

There have been a lot of exchanges today, and our workforce consistently prioritizes skills over degrees.

I think there is little words that can describe the anger that we all felt when we read the New York Times story and when it broke.

Your impatience to place undocumented children with sponsors at a faster rate than your caseworkers could handle placed thousands of kids in dangerous conditions.
