Before COVID-19 shut down our economy and drove millions of Americans to work from home, those who had to call a federal agency for assistance may have experienced a reasonable wait time. Agencies like the Internal Revenue Service (IRS), the Social Security Administration, the Small Business Administration, or the Department of Veterans Affairs have often felt slow to respond, but the wait was understandable considering the volume of people looking for help at any given time.
WASHINGTON — Congressman Bruce Westerman (R-AR) cosponsored legislation reintroduced today by Congressman Jared Golden (D-ME) to ensure seniors, rural communities, and their pharmacists have access to important information about their prescription medications.

On the 49th anniversary of Roe v. Wade, thousands across the nation showed their support for life. For 49 years, pro-life warriors have stood in defense of the "least of these" in their towns and cities to speak out for the more than 62 million children who lost their lives to legal abortion.

The U.S. Supreme Court recently struck down President Biden's and the Occupational Safety and Health Administration's (OSHA) vaccine mandate on private businesses with over 100 employees. This important decision protects the rights of private enterprise and roughly 84 million Americans from government overreach.

As 2022 begins, my office looks forward to another year of serving the constituents of the Fourth District. Part of that service is showing the young people in our state how they can make a difference for our community. This week, we are excited to welcome a new intern from the University of Arkansas to my Washington, D.C., office for the Spring semester.
As the year comes to a close, I appreciate time to take a step back and reflect. It is my highest honor to represent you in Congress and I consider the greatest responsibility to serve each and every member of the Fourth District. Thank you to those who have reached out to my office to share concerns, bring pressing issues to my attention, host visits in Arkansas, and much more.
FFA offered me incredible high school experiences for which I will always be grateful. Much of what I know about agriculture and animal husbandry came not only from growing up on a small farm, but also from the classroom and hands-on experiences FFA afforded.

The number one industry in Arkansas' Fourth District, which I'm privileged to represent in Congress, is agriculture.
