The great news is, this is finally happening. It should have happened six months ago. The next best time is right now, this week.

The Federal Government must be a partner in that effort.

The way they will interfere with our processes is not through trying to harm our infrastructure.

We must invest in efforts to educate our citizens, boost trusted messengers from all sectors and all parties.

I believe that we need more hearings like this, and I appreciate Senator Fischer is involved in this as well.

We are potentially less protected as we go into 2024, in terms of the security of our elections, than we were during 2020.

A number of our adversaries have seen how cheap and effective it is to interfere in our elections.

I completely disagree with them on a number of topics, and I would love them to get some of the classified briefings we receive.

I think it would be naive to underestimate that that we are dealing with a threat of a different magnitude.

While we thank goodness the FEC has finally required the fact that a political ad on Facebook has to have some level of disclosure, ... we still have not passed law number one to equalize disclosure requirements on social media and to…

But again, and it is easy to sometimes sit up here and attack rather than manage all three of these, but there could be this moment in time where these factors all come together that could have a really negative effect on the economy.

I was very proud of the fact that working with then-Chair Crapo... we actually got $12 billion...

I do worry, when we have got as aggressive a monetary policy we have at this moment in time...

I think it is time to revisit.

I was around when we set up the CFPB. A lot of this was due to the fact of abuse of consumers, and frankly, a lot of it was sometimes in the case of making sure that our financial institutions did not discriminate against any group of…

I was absent on Wednesday May 31, 2023, for rollcall vote No. 134. Had I been present, I would have voted nay on the motion to proceed to H.J. Res. 45, providing for the congressional disapproval under chapter 8 of title 5, United States…
