Elizabeth Warren
Senator for Massachusetts · Democratic · United States
“Unless we reverse course quickly, many economists believe that a recession is inevitable. And like in all recessions, the pain will fall hardest on working families. Many Americans will face the one-two punch of job losses on top of overwhelming debt burdens. A cascade of defaults and foreclosures and personal bankruptcies could follow.”
“But this time, it will be the President of the United States who destroyed our economy, and it will be congressional Republicans who helped him do it because they didn't have the spine to stand up to Donald Trump. So I say to my Republican colleagues: Let's get this done. You have a choice.”
“Mr. President, President Trump took a strong American economy and broke it in less than 100 days. Right now, Republican Senators are at a crossroads. Will they vote to stop Trump's chaotic tariffs and save our economy, or will they continue bending the knee to Donald Trump? That is the vote that we are forcing tonight.”
“So let's take a step back and talk about what has happened since Trump started this trade war. The stock market took the biggest plunge since the early days of the pandemic, sinking millions of Americans' retirement accounts. Businesses have begun hiking prices and laying off workers.”
“No one else is coming to save us. We are the ones who have to act. If Republicans care about the American people, they will vote yes on our resolution today and turn off the fake emergency that Donald Trump is using to impose his on-again, off-again red-light, green-light tariffs--the tariffs that are pushing our economy off a cliff.”
“71, hosted dozens of foreign Federal and State officials at Mar- a-Lago, helping enrich Trump. No. 72, hosted a GOP retreat at another one of Trump's resorts, for which Trump's resorts get paid. No. 73, circumvented the normal contracting process to pick a company with close ties to Trump's former campaign manager. No.”

“To this day, I don't know if anyone could tell you what party Cameron belongs to and how he votes--and that is no small feat in today's Washington. All we know is that he approaches his work with the utmost professionalism, competence, and kindness every single day. Need to know the answer to some arcane rule in the committee handbook? Cameron's your guy. Need to know how many people are in the hearing room at any given moment so your boss doesn't miss their question time? Ask Cameron. Need some help brokering peace with the chairman's team across the hallway? Go to Cameron again. I am personally very grateful for Cameron's support in the early months of my tenure as ranking member of this committee.”
“As chief clerk, Cameron is the person who makes sure that hearings go off without a hitch; that we are able to review paperwork from White House nominees and to fulfill our constitutional duty to advise and consent on Presidential appointments; that we are able to mark up important legislation. In short, Cameron is the reason that the Banking Committee can do the work of the Banking Committee. I would like to ask for permission to bring Cameron to the floor while I finish my remarks. The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered. Ms. WARREN. Thank you. Can you join us, Cameron? Cameron demonstrates public service at its very best. The role of the chief clerk on the Banking Committee is nonpartisan. A chief clerk serves both the majority and minority fairly and equally.”

Mr. President, I rise today to recognize a true public servant, Cameron Ricker, the chief clerk of Banking, Housing, and Urban Affairs Committee, who is leaving the Senate after 8 years. And I am glad to recognize today Cameron's loving family, who is here in the Gallery: his wife Zaida, his daughter Zona, and his parents Don and Peggy, who flew all the way from Idaho to be here with us, as well as current and former banking staff. It is not an exaggeration to say that Cameron is the backbone of the Senate Banking Committee.”
