The Senate proved Tuesday night that we can accomplish big goals if we work together on behalf of the American people,and I hope we can continue this bipartisan spirit of cooperation. I will continue to push for my bipartisan STATES Act to receive a vote in the Senate,but I'm proud of what we were able to accomplish on Tuesday." Gardnerintroducedan amendment earlier this week toprotectstate decisions across the country with respect to regulating marijuana.
