Ricketts highlighted his Secure and Feasible Exports (SAFE) of Chips Act and Multilateral Alignment of Technology Controls on Hardware (MATCH) Act, which would limit sales of advanced AI chips and semiconductor manufacturing equipment to Communist China. Ricketts also discussed his work to secure year-round E15.\n\n\u201cWe\u2019ve got to win the AI race with Communist China,\u201d said Ricketts. \u201cIf we do things that hamper that innovation, we\u2019re going to lose, and that will end up in a world where Communist China dominates the AI race, and that\u2019s going to have a bad impact on so many factors that impact everyday life. So, what we want to do is make sure that we win, and that means encouraging American innovation.\u201d\n\n\u201cLast time I filled up with E10, I saved 55 cents a gallon, said Ricketts. \u201cWith E15, you would save even more. It cleans up the environment, so it\u2019s great for the environment, and it would help our farmers and ranchers by creating more demand. We\u2019ve got a bill to make this permanent.\u201d", 1, "2026-06-06T06:16:30Z", "2026-06-06T06:17:47Z"]], "columns": ["url", "title", "date", "year", "month", "party", "chamber", "state", "member_name", "bioguide_id", "domain", "scraper", "source", "date_source", "text", "has_text", "collected_at", "updated_at"], "primary_keys": ["url"], "primary_key_values": ["https://www.ricketts.senate.gov/news/press-releases/ricketts-highlights-efforts-to-pass-year-round-e15-combat-communist-china/"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 1.8293512985110283, "source": "dwillis/congress-press", "source_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press", "license": "MIT", "license_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press/blob/main/LICENSE"}
