Last year I had the opportunity to meet with a variety of community stakeholders in different regions of the State of Wisconsin.

The Senate Democrats in putting forward our own infrastructure proposal did include broadband.

I wrote to President Trump urging him to include dollars specifically for broadband and particularly in rural America.

I want to particularly welcome Bob DeBroux, fellow Wisconsinite, from the Madison-based TDS Telecom.

My bill would also give states flexibility to use some of the funding for other substance abuse issues such as methamphetamine.

I have had an opportunity now for several years to meet with some of the workers on the frontline in Wisconsin, as well as families, impacted by the opioid epidemic.

I was pleased to hear you all agree that this ought to be a high priority of the FTC and yours, if confirmed.

I worked with Senator Collins on a different caregiver measure that was signed into law just 2 weeks ago.

I believe that the Federal Government can and should do more to support these institutions.

The foreign interference we saw in the 2016 election is reprehensible and outrageous

I can't understand why we wouldn't, at a minimum, want to equip our intelligence agencies... with just an understanding.

I'd like to turn to how you are addressing the use of social media to further domestic extremism.

Yet we find ourselves still scrambling and in some cases not gaining ground but losing ground.

Ian inspired me to author the Next-Generation Researchers Act, along with my colleague, Senator Collins, to fight to improve NIH opportunities for new and early stage researchers.

While the opioid epidemic continues to ravage the country and my home State of Wisconsin, I have to say that I am proud that Wisconsin is leading in a number of respects, including an aggressive and innovative advancement like our…

I actually agree with President Trump regarding his emphasis on authorizing the Secretary of HHS to negotiate directly with pharmaceutical companies for lower drug prices in Medicare.

I have offered, along with my colleague Senator John McCain, the Fair Drug Pricing Act which would require basic transparency from drug corporations.

I have a bill, along with Senator McCain, to require that for companies planning on increasing their prices.

I have many constituents who share their very personal stories about their challenges with the increasing and skyrocketing costs of, again, lifesaving or life extending medications.

We have heard from the President that he wanted to drain the swamp. We have heard phrases like 'foxes guarding the henhouse,' and the 'revolving door.'

We're very pleased that you have a seat both at the authorizing table and the appropriating table on this, and I have appreciated your leadership.
