Comment by Jerry Moran
U.S. Senator from Kansas
In rural communities where resources and workforce are limited, AI has tremendous potential to fill the gaps and help small businesses with finance management, marketing, supply chain management and much more. This legislation would help small businesses use AI to meet their needs, expand and innovate. Combining these tools with a trained workforce will help make certain the U.S. is utilizing AI to grow our economy and bolster businesses in Kansas and across the country.AI Verified source (2026)

Quote verified. This is Senator Jerry Moran's genuine statement on the Feb 17, 2026 reintroduction of the bipartisan Small Business Artificial Intelligence Training Act of 2026. The source_url (commerce.senate.gov/2026/2/...) returns 403 to automated fetching, but I confirmed the exact verbatim wording and attribution via two independent web searches quoting the same press release, including the distinctive 2026 phrasing ("In rural communities where resources and workforce are limited, AI has tremendous potential to fill the gaps..." and "...bolster businesses in Kansas and across the country") which distinguishes it from his similar 2024 statement. Author (Moran, U.S. Senator from Kansas) and year (2026) are correct. The "for" vote on statement 407 ("Incentivizing AI adoption in companies to enhance workforce talent") correctly aligns: the quote advocates AI training/tools plus a trained workforce to help small businesses adopt AI. (I created this opinion as the recent companion to the still-relevant 2024 Moran quote, opinion 8130.)
