I think it is pretty rational to say that we can have photo ID in our Nation's capital.

If you vote for this amendment, my reading is, you are supportive of allowing non-citizens to vote in the Nation's capital.

I think you pointed out a huge risk, and I think it is incumbent upon EAC and policymakers to put forward the guardrails that are needed to make sure that grant funding does not go to entities where you can simply go look on their website…

What we are seeing is no real up tick at all. Why? Because people actually like the voter integrity law that was passed in Georgia.

This does not inspire confidence that our funds EAC has a responsibility for are being properly used.

I think it is broadly concerning to the American people when we see the appearance of political activity with Federal taxpayer dollars.

The American people demand more transparency and accountability in their Government, especially with respect to elections.

I mean, if we look at the website, I mean, SKD Knickbocker, I mean, this was not overly complicated.

It is a violation of Federal law to use HAVA grant funds for 'get out the vote' activity.

The failure to accurately track how States use these Federal grants has potentially enabled significant waste, fraud, and abuse.

If we walk away with anything, it is, man, we have got some cleanup work to do to make sure that we are not allowing Federal funds to go to Team Biden to do--get out what I would call, and I think most Americans would call, 'get out the…

We are committed to a robust oversight of our Federal agencies to make sure we are protecting taxpayer dollars.

This is the Committee's first Oversight hearing of the Elections Assistance Commission since 2011.

The Committee on House Administration will come to order. I note that a quorum is present.

I think it is important that we are ensuring taxpayers are getting $23 million worth of value for their $23 million investment.

The purpose of our hearing today is to take steps to reestablish trust in the Office of Congressional Ethics, which has become politicized over the last 15 years.

I think the American people deserve to have confidence that Congress is accountable and that congressional entities are accountable to the American people.

I am concerned that it is the wrong approach.

Home prices are skyrocketing because regulations and supply chain disruptions have made it too difficult to build new homes.

It seems broadly unfair.

Homeownership is getting even further out of reach for countless Americans.

I am committed to upholding Americans' First Amendment right to support candidates, causes, organizations of their choice without fear or retribution.

This is un-American and anti-democratic.

The real, real, real threat to American democracy remains large, large amounts of money being put into American elections without any disclosure and the presence of dark money, and I personally want to make sure that that does not happen.

The ACE Act will finally prohibit the IRS and any other Federal agencies from asking for an organization's donor lists.
