Driverless cars are coming to your street - the only question is, 'When?'

The promise of autonomous vehicles is great.

While so many Americans are still struggling to find good jobs, and our manufacturing sector continues to need a boost, it is only common sense to ensure that taxpayer dollars put Americans to work rather than those outside our borders.

U.S. trade policy has been a disaster for American workers.

We must invest in our nation's transportation infrastructure.

With increased growth in the U.S. population, especially in urban areas, transport bottlenecks will only become more frequent and severe.

I would like to believe that TPP will lead to more exports and jobs for the American people. But history shows that big trade agreements - from NAFTA to the Korea Free Trade Agreement - have resulted in fewer American jobs, lower wages, and a bigger trade deficit.

TPP replicates similar language from past trade agreements that has allowed foreign corporations the right to challenge U.S. federal, state, and local laws outside of American courts. These tribunals will not meet our high standard of transparency and due process, and they will rely on weak impartiality rules for selecting judges.

We should not allow a trade treaty to take precedence over our own laws and regulations.

For TPP to get my vote, it must benefit America's middle class, raise wages, and safeguard the consumer and environmental protections that we rely upon.

We need a first-class transportation system.

We need to focus on jobs.

The United States needs to be a leader in scientific research.

Every day, we learn of more cyber attacks in our nation and around the world. In the United States, these attacks have the potential to destroy our military and economic security and, perhaps, impact the process we use to elect our leaders.

American workers have lost jobs and businesses have been damaged because of cyber attacks, and that's why it will continue to be a top priority of mine to put the necessary resources in place to help our nation prepare for and combat future cyber attacks.

I think we have to acknowledge that the way to get back into the majority into the Congress and pick up seats is to make sure we are a big-tent party and reaching out to people that are moderate and not just push to the left.

All tax incentives do is make it cheaper to borrow for transportation projects. But you still have to pay that money back.

Protection of unborn children must be a legislative priority in the 112th Congress, and I look forward to leading this bipartisan coalition of pro-life members with Chris Smith as we continue our work to protect innocent human life.

It's not easy being a pro-life Democrat.

If we are going to change this country's laws, we need to have pro-life members of both parties.

I don't want to take away deferred status from anyone who has it, but I also didn't want to send the message that it is OK to come here illegally.

Flying commercial airlines has become an all-too-often unpleasant experience.

Protecting the sanctity of life is a matter of principle.

Russia is a direct threat to our NATO allies in the Baltics and in Poland as well as a threat to peace and stability in the entire western world.

We must effectively counter Moscow's attempts at influence with American strength and resolve, certainly not with a weak approach to President Putin or with any relief from sanctions.

Ronald Reagan succeeded in bringing down the Iron Curtain by showing strength and resolutely standing up to the Soviet Union. President Trump needs to be similarly resolute towards Putin.

As a Democratic member of Congress, I have a vote at the Democratic National Convention as a superdelegate.

I've been a strong supporter of the I-Corps program since it was first introduced by the NSF. I have helped it grow and have seen how successful it has been.

Programs like I-Corps get university and other federally-funded research translated more quickly into new products and new companies, creating American jobs and providing taxpayers a better return on their investment in science.

By coordinating with international partners on scientific issues, we strengthen the U.S. scientific enterprise and promote the free exchange of ideas in other nations.
