Statement : Financial Services and General Government

March 26, 2019 Statement

First and foremost, is whether the interests of the American taxpayer are being put first – where they belong – or whether the personal financial interests of President Trump are taking precedence when GSA is making real estate and procurement decisions.

In fiscal year 2019, Treasury’s budget request stated its intent to use available funds to support investigations and other activities to combat money laundering and terrorist financing.

"Whether you are here in Washington or in the comfort of your own home, you can watch Congress and the executive branch in action on C-SPAN. This is an important part of making our nation’s legislative and executive branch open and transparent to all Americans. But one government institution remains closed to the public eye – the U.S. Supreme Court."

"Many of the vulnerabilities that existed in 2016, continue to persist across the country. Our election infrastructure remains outdated, low-tech, and nowhere near where it needs to be to prevent future intrusions."
February 26, 2019 Statement
There is much work to be done on behalf of the American people and I for one look forward to a productive Congress where we conduct oversight of the agencies under our jurisdiction and work to find common ground as we set funding priorities for the Federal government.
