I believe that everything should be on the table as part of tax reform.

If confirmed, one of my top goals in tax reform is to ensure that a revised code is simple and fair for all Americans.

My personal belief is that tax reform should be revenue-neutral.

I hope the administration would adopt the view that the middle class should be the priority.

I think it is sound social policy. I think it is sound tax policy.

It is completely unacceptable--unacceptable--for an administration to just stonewall inquiries from members of Congress.

If tax reform becomes a partisan exercise in slashing rates for just the wealthy and the biggest corporations, the American people will see this as a con job.

The Trump administration tax plan was basically a one-page outline.

One of the objectives of tax reform is to lower rates on individuals and broaden the base.

I do think that all of the itemized deductions should be on the table for consideration.

It is critically important that, as we take the time to consider ideas about how to reform the code...

I will give you my word, that is my primary concern.

It is my understanding that the Board has the authority to adopt rules under the NLRA.

I will confer with the NLRB ethics office to determine whether recusal is necessary.

The NLRB should endeavor to maintain stability in labor law.

If confirmed, I will confer with NLRB staff and the other members of the Board on all oversight requests.

Enforcement is a core responsibility of the Department of Labor and I will prioritize enforcement regardless of funding levels.

I do believe mine safety is of the utmost importance and, if confirmed, will work to enforce the laws under the Department's jurisdiction fully and fairly.

I believe it is important to respond to requests of Members of Congress and, if confirmed, I will look into your concerns regarding the Office of Congressional and Intergovernmental Affairs.

Should it be the policy of the United States to protect the rights of employees to bargain collectively?

Experience has proved that protection by law of the right of employees to organize and bargain collectively safeguards commerce from injury, impairment, or interruption and promotes the flow of commerce.

So the food box, it is not just the quantity of the food; it is the healthy impact of it.

I strongly urge you to support the senior food box programs, food banks, and other programs that help people like me.

The proposed budget cuts that I outline to those senior programs, senior nutrition programs, paired with the proposals to decimate Medicaid could devastate the health and financial security of entire families.

They should not have to struggle in their golden years for something as basic as the security of knowing they will have enough to eat.
