Political Quotes

“not since President Ford has any President been denied at least some of his nominees unanimous consent for confirmation at this point in their Presidency. That is why I come to the floor today to advocate for one nominee who is sorely needed--her name is Jessica Kramer--to be Assistant Administrator in the Office of Water at the Environmental Protection Agency. Jess, as we all know her given her time working on the EPW Committee, is solid and as sharp as they come. She previously served as an environmental prosecutor and defense attorney for the Wisconsin Department of Justice, as a government affairs specialist for drinking water and wastewater associations, and as deputy secretary for regulatory programs at Florida's Department of Environmental Protection. She also served in the EPA's Office of Water in the first Trump administration. Her impeccable qualifications are part of the reason she received a strong bipartisan vote out of the EPW Committee, a 15-to-4 vote, including by Ranking Member Sheldon Whitehouse. Her background check has been available for a week. There is no reason her nomination should be delayed any longer. President Trump deserves to have his qualified people at his side, and the American people deserve to have their votes mean something.”
