I have deep, deep concerns about the logistical element.

I always think back to your predecessor's testimony here in 2021, when Admiral Davidson said that he believed that China would make their move to reunify with Taiwan forcefully by 2027.

We want to make sure we continue the effort to deter the Chinese Communist Party and make sure we can continue to maintain a free and open Indo-Pacific.

We have an obligation to our constituents to rethink our infrastructure.

I hope this Committee fully considers this legislation when reintroduced or when in discussions of an Economic Development Administration reauthorization.

The Water Resources Development Act is necessary legislation that provides for improvements to the Nation's ports, inland waterways, flood protection, ecosystem restoration, and other water resources infrastructure and policy.

I am hopeful this committee continues to build off of the momentum from the passage of the historic Bipartisan Infrastructure Law.

That's why at the beginning of the last Congress I introduced the Water Infrastructure Sustainability and Efficiency--or WISE--Act.

After the KC-10's are fully retired, will the Air Force have a tanker surge capacity in the event of a conflict in the Pacific?

The Navy has used commercial aerial refueling tankers for over 20 years to supplement their refueling needs for Navy and Marine Corps training exercises that cannot met by the Air Force.

Many of my constituents have also raised their concerns with wastewater and stormwater pollution.
