Mr. Chairman, I come before the Committee today to urge consideration of the RESTORE Act, to help extend a valuable lifeline for the men and women who tirelessly work to feed our great nation.

This bipartisan legislation would reauthorize the Wildfire Hurricane Indemnity Program (WHIP) for 2020 and 2021, and it would expand the program to cover crop losses due to freezes and polar vortexes.

Unfortunately, these hard-working Americans have battled numerous hardships over the past few years due to market turmoil, disruptions caused by COVID-19, and, most recently, disastrous weather events like the polar vortex which struck…

Thank you, Mr. Chairman and [Ranking Member] Thompson for holding this hearing today and giving Members like myself a chance to have their voices heard.

I introduced H.R. 1692, the RESTORE Act... to help farmers to recover from these natural disasters.

I represent the number one ag district in the State of Texas, and the sixth overall ag district in the United States.

Yes, in fact, last week, faith leaders in Georgia called for in fact, a boycott if corporations, Delta Airline, Coca-Cola, Home Depot, and others did not speak out against this legislation.

Ronny Jackson says the report is false, part of the Democratic plot to tarnish him 'because I have refused to turn my back on President Trump.'

I think President Trump's administration did a fantastic job.

I really do believe the legacy of the Trump administration, their finest hour will be Warp Speed.

We are a tribal government that strives to strengthen our appropriate ties with neighboring communities, governments, and jurisdictions.

We write to submit testimony for the record urging the Senate Committee on Indian Affairs to ensure that Indian Country is included in the upcoming Farm Bill.

Corporate accountability is critical to the future of our companies and the economy, and I am deeply skeptical of making changes to these rules that would make it harder for shareholders' voices to be heard.

Yes. My research, teaching, and previous Government service have long focused on making sure that investors have the tools they need to express their views to corporate management.

Giving investors the ability to express their views help hold management's feet to the fire, demanding accountability on issues that shareholders believe are important to the success of the company.

I think you are right to raise the concern--that what is happening with buybacks is companies are consistently choosing not to invest in their employees, in their communities, in the future.

I think Ms. Peirce has quite aptly described a lot of the challenges the SEC faces.

I think it should, and let me just say, Senator, that this issue is going to come up again...

Absolutely not, Senator. My view is that those protections are critical to preventing the next financial crisis.

I think that is among the first questions I would ask if I were confirmed.

I look forward to witnessing Ghana achieve its seventh consecutive peaceful and transparent national democratic elections in December of 2016.

Our assistance aims to enhance the transparency and credibility of Ghanaian Electoral Commission (EC) operations.

If confirmed, I intend to continue these programs and ensure that anticorruption issues are a regular part of our interactions with the highest levels of the Government of Ghana.

Ghana is widely considered one of the leading democracies on the African Continent.

If confirmed, my priorities will be to promote democracy, good governance, peace, trade, education, and health.
