Congressman Bruce Westerman (AR-04) released the following statement:
The American Dream has lived in the hearts and minds of Americans for countless generations – the idea that your class or your past does not define you or determine your value and that your success can be achieved through hard work and dedication – not the family you were born into or even your past.
Today, U.S. Representatives Bruce Westerman (R-AR), Lucy McBath (D-GA), Don Bacon (R-NE), Danny K. Davis (D-IL), Barry Moore (R-AL), Carol Miller (R-WV), and LaMonica McIver (D-NJ) alongside U.S Senators Kevin Cramer (R-ND) and Amy Klobuchar (D-MN) reintroduced the bicameral Second Chance Month Resolution.

Under numerous Executive Orders, our border security measures have been tightened, securing communities near the border and across the United States.
For the sake of both the environment and the economy, Congress must advance common sense Endangered Species Act (ESA) reforms that return power to private landowners while simultaneously protecting endangered species in a responsible way.
In a unique moment for Arkansas, each Member of Congress in the Senate and House of Representatives serving across the Natural State proudly hold a gavel in the 119th Congress. This positions Arkansas well to be a frontrunner in policy making decisions that greatly impact Arkansans and Americans alike.
In response to President Donald Trump’s Joint Address, Congressman Bruce Westerman (AR-04) released the following statement:
