Many Americans are grappling with the anxiety caused by the threat of federal COVID-19 vaccine mandates, mask mandates, and quarantine requirements. That's especially true for parents, teachers, and other education personnel. In an effort to bring their concerns to President Biden, I led a letter, which was co-signed by my fellow Arkansas Representatives, strongly opposing any federal vaccine mandate for schools.

I get the chance to travel the district end to end and meet with some of the hardest working men and women who keep America on her feet.

It has been a busy week on Capitol Hill as lawmakers wait to vote on the $1.2 trillion infrastructure legislation, which is intricately tied to the $4.3 trillion reconciliation package. To pave the way for the massive spending packages that total over $5,000,000,000,000, Democrats voted, in a completely political move, to suspend the debt limit until just after the mid-term elections in 2022. This allows Democrats to completely pass the buck and avoid telling the American people how much each of us owe to cover the Democrats' massive spending priorities.
WASHINGTON – Reacting to the partisan passage in the U.S. House of Representatives of S. 1301 to raise the debt limit, Congressman Bruce Westerman (R-AR) released the following statement:
The founding principle of the United States is that Americans are guaranteed life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. House Democrats are stripping America's most vulnerable citizens of the right to life by passing a bill with the erroneous title of the "Women's Health Protection Act." A better name for this legislation is the "Abortion on Demand Until Birth Act."

The nearly $60 billion bill that we spent 15 hours debating is filled with unnecessary spending on liberal wish-list items that were too far left to make it into the bipartisan infrastructure package negotiated by the Senate and the White House.
