2020s senatorial press release: on Government Reform


Ben Sasse: Push back against overly strict, dumb regulations

Sasse reintroduced the Transporting Livestock Across America Safely Act. "Agriculture drives Nebraska, and nobody works harder to ensure the safety and well-being of livestock than the Nebraskans who hustle day in and day out," said Sasse. "Overly strict regulations are hurting our ranchers and our haulers. My legislation pushes back against those dumb regulations and works to promote safe transportation. This is good, reasonable, common-sense, bipartisan legislation--and it should pass."

Cindy Hyde-Smith: Reverse one-size-fits-all rules on livestock haulers

Hyde-Smith has cosponsored legislation to make regulatory changes for livestock haulers, who face strict rules regarding electronic monitoring and hours of service. The Transporting Livestock Across America Safely Act (S.2938) would require the U.S. Department of Transportation Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) to change its rule mandating rest time for livestock haulers, which would put livestock at risk during summer and winter months. "The 150-mile limit and mandatory rest time regulations are out of touch with the realities of transporting livestock. They are another example of the government making the mistake of trying to impose one-size-fits all regulations," said Hyde-Smith, who serves on the Senate Agriculture Committee.

Nathan Dahm: Serious doubts about the integrity of the 2020 election

SB 1690 calls for a forensic audit of the 2020 election. Nine counties would be audited: the three most populous counties, the three least populous counties, and three randomly selected counties.

"There are serious doubts about the integrity of the 2020 election," Dahm said. "This audit will verify those results to ensure our electoral process has not been undermined. Elections should be vetted to the highest degree to ensure that the will of the people is not distorted."

Nathan Dahm: Absentee ballots only for those physically unable to go

SB 1748 would specify valid reasons that individuals may ask for an absentee ballot. "Election laws in Oklahoma should make it easy to vote, but hard to cheat," Dahm said. "And absentee ballots should be limited to those individuals who physically cannot make it to the ballot box."

Theresa Greenfield: Vital that Iowans can vote without fear of falling ill

Greenfield's campaign launched a webpage to serve as a resource for Iowans to vote by mail ahead of Iowa's June primary election. "During tough times like these, it's especially important that Iowans are able to make their voices heard. It is vital that every Iowan be able to cast a ballot safely and without fear of falling ill," said Greenfield. Greenfield has called for making it easier for Iowans to vote by mail by proactively mailing registered voters an absentee ballot.

Reid Rasner: We must cut regulations and incentivize American businesses

The stagnation witnessed under Barrasso's watch demands a radical shift in policies. Prioritize measures supporting small businesses, innovation, and job creation to generate revenue and counter the damage inflicted by decades of irresponsible governance. We must cut regulations, unleash Wyoming energy, and bolster American manufacturing to become an exporter once again. Bring back "Made in America" and incentivize American businesses.
