To win the future and beat China, the Energy and Commerce Committee must again move bipartisan legislation--we must act now to ensure the U.S. continues to lead in technologies like AVs.
We need a national framework. We need to take action to make sure that we do this right.
Congress must address the number one cause of death on America's roadways: drunk driving.
We cannot trust the CCP to set the standards for this industry, and we certainly cannot trust them to protect intellectual property and individual rights.
America values the importance of the safety of our citizens--China does not.
I appreciate the CLEAN Future Act is only trying to further extend the Brownfields Program.

I am most concerned about creating requirements that are going to distract attention and resources from EPA or responsible parties cleaning up Superfund pollution.
EPA Administrator Regan committed to me to take action to keep the city within its permitted discharge limits.
We should avoid creating more of that and instead produce the one thing Superfund was meant to do: clean up.
The previous EPA didn't just say--they didn't just say it, they did it, and the most delistings of cleaned Superfund sites in 20 years.
We need to figure out how to move protective cleanups along, rather than ways to make them take more time.

Let's keep working on results. Let's keep getting outcomes, not delays and inaction.
I am concerned, because it sounds like the Democrats want to take the Medicare dollars and pay for ACA policy again.
These junk plans are not required to comply with the consumer protections in the Affordable Care Act.
The Hyde Amendment, which is current law, makes it illegal to use taxpayer dollars to fund elective abortions.
We need personalized care for every individual, every person, to have a chance for a better quality of life.
