“Bill Barr is an eminently qualified nominee with an outstanding record of public service. He has already served as Attorney General once, and with distinction. He and I have had good discussions about the tech industry, stopping illegal immigration, and ensuring the Department of Justice works for the American people. Bill Barr was unanimously confirmed to be our nation’s chief law enforcement officer 27 years ago and I hope my Senate colleagues will put their partisanship to the side to join...

“Tonight, President Trump challenged Congress to break through partisan gridlock and get working for the American people. That’s what we were sent to Washington to do: work at getting real things done. He outlined an ambitious path forward and I commend him. I was pleased to hear the president discuss his plans to lower the cost of health care. That’s a top priority of mine in the Senate.

“My number one priority is to ensure our Congress does the absolute most it can to serve the hardworking people of Missouri, and the first steps are keeping families safe and spending their tax dollars wisely. I look forward to being involved in the important work of these two subcommittees to ensure our government is working for Missourians.”

“Today, we celebrate the life and legacy of one of the most remarkable change agents in American history. The Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. inspired the nation to strive for the greatness that comes when every man, woman and child is treated equally. Dr. King’s life is a profound example of servant leadership and a profound reminder that one person committed to justice can change the world.”

“It’s incredible to see people of all ages and backgrounds, from Missouri and across the country, who have made the trek to our nation’s capital to speak their hearts, their minds, their faith – to tell their elected leaders that this nation was founded on the dignity of every person and that every life is worth fighting for. I am proud to stand for the right to life. Always.”

“With heavy hearts, my wife Erin and I extend our sincerest condolences to the family and friends of Scott Wirtz and the St. Louis community. Our thoughts and prayers are with them during this difficult time. As we honor Scott’s life and memory, may we never forget his courage and exemplary service to our nation.”
