Freshman GOP senator rips predecessor while reflecting on ‘whirlwind’ first 100 days: ‘Urgency and speed’
Freshman Republican Sen. Bernie Moreno has completed his first 100 days in office, and he recently sat down with Fox News Digital to discuss his key takeaways and goals for the future. Moreno, who defeated Ohio’s long-time Democratic Sen. Sherrod Brown last November, has been hard at work since being sworn in. He has cosponsored 67 bills and introduced eight original ones of his own.
One of the main pieces of legislation Moreno hopes to see become law is the Transportation Freedom Act. This bill aims to set one set of standards for the entire country’s auto industry for the next decade. This stability will allow car companies like Ford and GM to plan their production accordingly, ultimately lowering the price of automobiles for consumers.
Addressing illegal immigration is another top priority for Moreno in the coming months. He is pushing for his Rules Act, which aims to address the broken asylum system. Moreno believes this is a crucial issue that Republicans can win on and hopes to see progress on this front soon.
Since taking office, Moreno has been actively engaging with constituents in all 88 counties in Ohio. He has participated in numerous interviews with Ohio media outlets, hosted constituent coffees in Washington, D.C., and authored letters on issues affecting Ohioans. Moreno is determined to be a productive and effective senator, in stark contrast to his predecessor, Sherrod Brown, whom he criticized for lackluster accomplishments during his 30-year career.
Looking ahead, Moreno has a laundry list of priorities for the GOP Senate over the next 100 days. He wants to focus on preserving Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid benefits while lowering costs through technological advancements and work mandates. Additionally, Moreno aims to cut funding to USAID programs, make the 2017 tax reform permanent, and codify cuts to the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) into law.
By achieving these goals, Moreno believes that the Trump agenda will be firing on all cylinders heading into the midterms. He envisions a golden age for America by the end of the year, thanks to a combination of legislative action and the president’s policies on tariffs, trade, peace, and border security.
In conclusion, Sen. Bernie Moreno is determined to make a difference during his time in office and is focused on delivering tangible results for the American people. His proactive approach and ambitious agenda bode well for the future of Ohio and the nation as a whole.
