Fischer Statement on E15 Emergency Waiver

“Expanding the use of E15 is a win for everyone. It bolsters our domestic fuel supply, lowers costs for consumers, and promotes the environmental benefits of American biofuels and modern agriculture. While I appreciate the EPA’s decision to lift restrictions on E15 for the summer driving season, more needs to be done. This administration should get behind my legislation to deliver the only permanent, nationwide solution to allow the sale of E15 year-round. It’s time to end the uncertainty and ensure that families across this country have consistent access to a biofuel that will lower prices at the pump," said Senator Fischer.

"President Biden's budget request for the Justice Department states that its goal is to uphold the rule of law. I appreciate this goal, but I don't see a budget that truly supports this vision. I see cuts to resources for local law enforcement who are struggling right now. I see the elimination of a program that helps put criminal illegal aliens in jail. And I'm seeing cuts like these in favor of more spending to fulfill President Biden's political goals. Smart and responsible budget cuts are important, but if you really want to uphold the law, cuts to law enforcement programs aren't the right place to start," said Senator Fischer.

Fischer Statement on Senate Impeachment Vote

“For years, I’ve said that the situation unfolding at our southern border is a national security and humanitarian crisis. The open border is letting terrorists and Chinese nationals into this country, and it’s allowing deadly fentanyl to flood our communities. It’s long past time for this administration to be held accountable, especially Secretary Mayorkas. I’m disappointed in my Democrat colleagues for abandoning their Constitutional duty, silencing the voices of millions by refusing to hold a trial and denying Senators the right to fully consider the charges against Secretary Mayorkas," said Senator Fischer.

Fischer: Democrats’ Push to Avoid Senate Impeachment Trial Sets “Disgraceful Precedent”

“My Democrat colleagues are duty bound by the Constitution to hold a full trial to consider the impeachment of Secretary Mayorkas — there is no excuse to shirk this responsibility.
