Confronting Antisemitism on College Campuses

This week, the House Committee on Education and the Workforce, of which I am a member, held a hearing entitled: “Holding Campus Leaders Accountable and Confronting Antisemitism."

The committee called on the Presidents of Harvard, UPenn, and MIT to answer for the rampant antisemitism engulfing their campuses and threatening their Jewish students. After the presidents of all three institutions refused to say whether "calling for the genocide of Jews" would violate each university's code of conduct, Committee Republicans opened a formal investigation into the learning environments at Harvard, UPenn, and MIT and their policies and disciplinary procedures. Antisemitism has absolutely no place on our college campuses and I will continue to work with my colleagues to ensure these institutions are held accountable.

Holding Universities Accountable

The House passed H.R. 5933, the Defending Education Transparency and Ending Rogue Regimes Engaging in Nefarious Transactions (DETERRENT) Act. H.R. 5933 would establish much-needed transparency, accountability, and clarity to foreign gift reporting requirements for colleges and universities.

Our adversaries such as the Chinese Communist Party increase their influence on campuses by providing American academic institutions with large donations, expensive gifts, and investments. As these dangerous adversaries attempt to infiltrate and influence American higher education, we must demand American education institutions stop hiding their dealings with foreign regimes to allow for transparency and oversight. House Republicans won’t stop fighting to keep foreign influence out of our institutions of learning.

Incentivizing Nuclear Energy Production

The House Energy and Commerce Committee advanced H.R. 6544—the bipartisan Atomic Energy Advancement Act—a package of bills aimed at incentivizing and advancing nuclear energy production in the United States. Included in H.R. 6544 was my Nuclear Licensing Efficiency Act, introduced this year, which would improve the licensing review process for future nuclear projects by establishing updated procedures and timelines for reviewing nuclear licensing applications.

An all-of-the-above strategy is critical to reclaiming American energy dominance, and as the nation’s largest source of clean energy, nuclear has a pivotal role to play. Watch my remarks HERE.

Communications and Technology Subcommittee Hearing

“Oversight of the National Telecommunications and Information Administration”

The National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA) plays a key role in strengthening American communications networks. This hearing explored improving broadband deployment, federal spectrum management, Internet governance, and cybersecurity, to understand how new technologies, like AI, can strengthen our communications infrastructure.

Full Committee Markup

The Energy and Commerce Committee advanced 44 bills to unleash affordable, reliable American energy, lower health care costs, improve consumer protections, and strengthen our national security by cutting China out of our supply chains.

During the markup, I spoke in support of H.R. 2880, the Protecting Patients Against PBM Abuses Act, which I proudly cosponsored, to prohibit Pharmacy Benefit Managers (PBMs), essentially corporate middle men that raise the cost of health care, from earning a profit based off of the Medicare Part D drug list price.
