Political Quotes

“I would like to thank the Senator from Maryland, Mr. Cardin, for his good, hard work with Senator Cramer on the subcommittee. Senator Cardin and I share the Chesapeake Bay. He has got a lot more of it than I do, but we have worked on those issues for years together, and I think that shows his dedication not just to his State but to the environment. So I appreciate all of his efforts. I am very pleased to rise today in strong support of the bipartisan Water Resources Development Act of 2022. This is the bill we are considering today. We call it WRDA. Most of us know it as WRDA. Congress authorizes water resource projects and sets national policies for the Civil Works Program and for the U.S. Corps of Engineers. The work of the Corps facilitates commerce throughout the country and internationally. Projects along our inland waterways, which are important in my State, and in our ports enable the movement of cargo while also bolstering our supply chain. Their support and partnership during this process were integral for us to reach a solid agreement. So, Mr. Chair, I would like to thank you and your staff, and I am going to go through our staff list really quickly: Mary Frances Repko, John Kane, Jordan Baugh, Mayely Boyce, Tyler Hofmann-Reardon, Milo Goodell, and Janine Barr from your staff. So thank you all very, very much.…”
