I recently introduced two bipartisan bills to ensure veterans exposed to Agent Orange while serving their country during the Vietnam War-era receive the benefits they were promised and have earned.

This week, I had the honor of hosting a group of Keystone XL Pipeline, agriculture, steel, energy, and construction workers to discuss the true cost of President Biden's energy policies.

Above all else, my duty as an elected official and a member of Congress is to uphold and protect the Constitution.

These bills directly limit Americans' constitutional right to bear arms as specified in the Second Amendment.

A study by Harvard University found that one-third of Americans do not trust the integrity of the 2020 Presidential election. Their distrust is a call for action, and it is our responsibility to restore confidence in our voting systems.

The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) released new guidance for how schools can reopen safely, making President Biden's stated goal of reopening all K-12 schools to five days a week by the end of April a reality.

Life is the most basic right of every man and woman created in the image of God and the first right guaranteed in our Declaration of Independence.
