During a Commerce, Science, and Transportation Committee hearing on the future of college athletics, Senator Curtis underscored the need for a clear national framework governing college sport while advocating for stronger protections for Olympic and non-revenue sports that serve thousands of student-athletes across the country.

During a Foreign Relations Committee hearing with Secretary Rubio, Senator Curtis, chair of the Western Hemisphere Subcommittee, emphasized the importance of countering the Chinese Communist Party’s growing influence in the Western Hemisphere and supporting Taiwan’s diplomatic relationships throughout the region.

Senators Curtis and Duckworth introduced two bipartisan bills aimed at improving coordination between the United States and its partners in the Indo-Pacific, which would strengthen security both in the region and in the U.S. Amid increasing aggression from the People’s Republic of China in the South China Sea, the senators’ bills would help ensure the Department of State prioritizes diplomatic engagement and improve the Department of War’s management of tensions in the region before they grow into full-blown crises that would require military action.
