There is an interesting similarity between the final paragraph of the statement Rosen gave at his confirmation hearing [emphasis added]:
So having traveled this road heightens how much I
appreciate our unique country, and it makes me care deeply
about our future, and that's why I want to do this. If I'm
confirmed, I see this nomination as an opportunity to make a
meaningful contribution to something that impacts the daily
lives of every single American. And, indeed, if I am confirmed,
I would welcome the chance to work with all of you to help
rebuild, refurbish, and revitalize America's transportation
system to enable the mobility and the connectivity that
Americans need so that our economy can continue to grow and
enhance the quality of life for all Americans.
and the final paragraphs of the NYT op-ed:
Senator John McCain put it best in his farewell letter. All Americans should heed his words and break free of the tribalism trap, with the high aim of uniting through our shared values and love of this great nation...
There is a quiet resistance within the administration of people choosing to put country first. But the real difference will be made by everyday citizens rising above politics, reaching across the aisle and resolving to shed the labels in favor of a single one: Americans.

In Rosen's prepared statement before the house judiciary committee, he expresses a similar sentiment at the end of his statement. This seems to be a standard way he wraps up things:
The RAA would represent an important advance for administrative law and regulatory practice, and would therefore benefit Americans from all walks of life, as well as our overall national economy
