Every day, law enforcement officers put on their uniforms, say goodbye to their families, and leave their homes to risk their lives to ensure the safety of their communities. During National Police Week, we commemorated the unsung heroes in our communities – the men and women in blue.
The Biden Administration’s failure to enforce our border laws has led to an unprecedented national security, ecological, and humanitarian crisis at our border. Since President Biden took office, there have been over 5 million illegal crossings along the southern border, and over 14,000 pounds of fentanyl have been seized coming across the border – that’s enough to kill the entire U.S. population ten times. U.S.
This week, President Biden and far-left Democrats have continued to desperately spread false claims that the Limit, Save, Grow Act will make devastating cuts to mandatory veterans’ benefits. This claim is a lie.
Our nation has a serious debt problem, which goes hand in hand with our government’s irresponsible spending. The out-of-control cycle of federal spending has gone on for far too long, and it’s why we hit the debt ceiling…again.

Working with federal agencies can be time-consuming, confusing, and even frustrating. If you are working with a federal agency to seek information or resolve a problem, and feel you've been mistreated or simply are not getting a response in a timely fashion, my office may be able to help you out.
This week, the House of Representatives passed historic, bipartisan legislation to lower energy costs for hardworking Americans. This bill puts American families and American workers first – and I’m proud that both Democrats and Republicans could realize how important that is for Congress to support. With the passage of H.R.1, the Lower Energy Costs Act, House Republicans are delivering on our promise to end President Biden’s war on American energy and create an economy that’s strong, resilient, and works for American families.
Americans are suffering the consequences of misguided energy policies.
