I look forward to working with you and @POTUS on Fair Access to Banking to prevent banks from discriminating against law-abiding, credit-worthy people and industries."

Later that day, Senator Cramer commented on energy reliability in the United States. He attributed current challenges to longstanding subsidies for certain types of power generation. In his words: "This reliability crisis was created by decades of subsidies for unreliable power. Each day we are closer to catastrophe unless we rapidly change course and embrace more reliable sources of electricity.

On July 11, 2025, Senator Cramer discussed progress regarding national defense legislation. He emphasized the importance of advancing the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) out of committee as part of Congress's constitutional responsibilities. He wrote: "Advancing the NDAA out of @SASCGOP is an important first step to fulfilling our Constitutional duty by providing for the common defense. I appreciate @SenatorWicker and @SenJackReed for their leadership. I look forward to working with my colleagues to pass the bill on the Senate".

The OCC is an independent bureau within the U.S. Department of Treasury responsible for regulating and supervising national banks and federal savings associations.
