Let's get focused on improving mobility, mobility choices. Let's get focused on American technology and innovation.

Since the invention of the Ford Model T, America has led the world in car manufacturing and technology.

opening statement

We must have transparency, and we must be assured that these taxpayer dollars are not being funneled to the Chinese.

There is a lot on the agenda today.

Unfortunately, President Biden's rush-to-green agenda puts China more firmly in control of our energy supply.

We don't want Chinese companies getting American taxpayer money to create more Chinese jobs and Chinese technology.

We should all be proud that America is the leader, the leader in clean, renewable energy.

I really do believe that this is a moment and we need to make sure that the taxpayer dollars accomplish the goal and that my constituents don't remain unserved because fiber isn't possible.

Reauthorizing agencies in the Energy and Commerce Committee's jurisdiction is a top priority.

I was very disappointed to see in the Notice of Funding Opportunity for the BEAD Program that it prioritized fiber projects over other technologies like fixed wireless.
