It is incredibly important that the census be viewed as a nonpolitical objective enterprise because it is the foundation, one of the cornerstones, of our democracy.
we need to disproportionally invest in those communities that have been more affected.
I believe that the information we collect on the decennial Census is extremely critical.
I would not want to unduly burden the American public, and I would be committed to ensuring that the questions that are asked have to be asked and there is a right purpose to them.
