Your mission is to protect. By neglecting your duty to follow a process that allows for proper deliberation and input from experts is a disservice.

I believe that the answer is yes.

I am concerned when we hear reports of individuals inside the FTC being silenced and your other Commissioners being shut out of the process.

I recently introduced H.R. 4551, the RANSOMWARE Act, which would amend the Safe Web Act to focus on such attacks.

As I have said before, Republicans support providing the FTC with the tools they need to pursue bad actors and to sufficiently enforce privacy standards.

Many current congressional and administration proposals to appear to involve one-size-fits-all clean electricity mandates to decarbonize the grid at a rapid pace.

I think it is important to strengthen the licensing process and remove unnecessary licensing and market barriers, the next-generation hydropowered technology.

Hydropower is an essential component of an all-of-the-above energy portfolio, and it is clean, it is renewable, it is reliable in the Pacific Northwest.

Across the nation, state and federal environmental and regulatory policies are undermining affordable, reliable energy.

There’s a role for clean energy policies but not as a substitute for affordable energy that keeps the lights on.

What really matters is that we make sure policies work for people--to protect their way of life.

We must make sure our federal laws and policies enable--not undermine--access to affordable, reliable energy.

Even in Washington State there continues to be extreme efforts to dismantle the four lower Snake River Dams so important to clean, renewable, reliable, affordable electricity.

Federal clean energy mandates will drive out American energy, raising cost on low- and middle-income workers and undermining our economic opportunities.

What happens if the rush to green and the Green New Deal socialist agenda effectively nationalizes expensive California-style mandates on the rest of the country?

We must make sure that our Federal laws and policies enable, not undermine, access to affordable and reliable energy.

How FERC executes its mission can have profound impacts on the price of energy and our security.

Well, Mr. President, Russia is NOT a responsible state.

In recent months we have seen a significant increase in the ransomware attacks coming from Russia.

We do not want the Chinese Communist Party setting standards for 5G and 6G. America must be at the forefront.

I believe very strongly in the importance of diverse supply to meeting our energy needs, the importance of an all-of-the-above approach to energy.

When these policies undermine affordable, reliable delivery of energy and power, serious harms to public health and safety can follow.

It's really important baseload. It's affordable. We have some of the lowest electricity rates in the country because of hydropower.

I get concerned about policies that would drive up rates on our manufacturers and on our families.

Policymakers should not lose sight of that.
