In Their Words
What they have said, on the record
“This bill removes unnecessary layers of bureaucracy so projects can move forward faster while still protecting the environment through the existing review process. It's a commonsense step to cut waste, reduce delays, and support job creation.”
“Federal environmental reviews should be efficient, not redundant.”
“This year marks the 250th anniversary of our great nation, and over the past year, President Trump's leadership has delivered real results for American families, workers, and communities. He outlined a clear path to build on the progress he has already made strengthening the economy, securing our borders, and rooting out waste, fraud, and abuse in our government. His commitment to American energy independence has already lowered gas prices to a four-year low, with the Wisconsin average at just $2.53.”
“This shutdown occurred because Democrats are demonizing ICE. ICE agents put their lives on the line every day and are working tirelessly to enforce our immigration laws and keep our communities safe.”
“However, reopening the government was absolutely necessary as a prolonged shutdown does not help the country.”
“I'm extremely disappointed the SAVE Act was not included in the final funding package, and I remain fully committed to supporting it when it comes up for a separate vote. Election security is critical to delivering results for Wisconsin families.”
