When President Donald Trump took office back in January, the American people finally had a leader in the White House who would help House and Senate Republicans enact our conservative agenda, which President Joe Biden and Democrats were able to block when they had total control of Washington. And on July 4th, President Trump and Republicans delivered historic wins for conservatives with The One Big Beautiful Bill. While securing the largest ever tax cut for the working class, the single biggest investment in border security, and largest spending cut in U.S. history were major achievements, there are other numerous policies in this bill that make it one of the most significant pieces of legislation in decades. Whether it’s protecting the unborn, defending the Second Amendment, or making major reforms to welfare programs, I’m incredibly proud that this bill delivers on many of the issues our rural communities care most about.

The One Big Beautiful Bill included the most important victory for the pro-life movement since the Dobbs Supreme Court ruling, which rightfully returned decisions about abortion to state governments. The legislation included language to cut off taxpayer funding for organizations like Planned Parenthood. It also has numerous tax provisions championed by the pro-life movement, whether it’s strengthening adoption tax incentives, making permanent the paid leave tax credit, and increasing and making permanent the Child Tax Credit. As a person of deep faith, I will continue working with President Trump and my colleagues in Congress to protect life.

The right to bear arms is one of our most important freedoms as Americans. That’s why I’m incredibly proud that the One Big Beautiful Bill delivered a historic victory for law-abiding gun owners. The legislation eliminated the $200 National Firearms Act (NFA) tax on suppressors, short-barreled rifles, short-barreled shotguns, and more. This marked the first major reduction of taxes imposed on law-abiding gun owners in decades. It was also the first major repeal of NFA provisions since the law was enacted nearly a hundred years ago. But that’s not all: it opens the NFA to new legal challenges, which are currently underway, that could finally bring an end to the NFA and its restrictions on the Second Amendment.

For decades, the Left has wasted trillions of taxpayer dollars to expand welfare programs, putting vital safety nets like Medicaid and the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) – also known as food stamps – on a path to bankruptcy and trapping people in a vicious cycle of dependency. Fortunately, The One Big Beautiful Bill included the most significant reforms to welfare programs in U.S. history, like cutting off benefits for illegal immigrants and able-bodied adults who choose not to work. The reforms in this bill won’t just save taxpayer dollars and help more people climb out of poverty, it will also preserve Medicaid and SNAP for the people these programs were originally created for, like single mothers, disabled individuals, and low-income seniors.

Whether it’s protecting the right to life, defending the Second Amendment, or making major reforms to welfare programs, The One Big Beautiful Bill delivers numerous victories for conservatives. While I’m proud of what Republicans and President Trump have accomplished in just six months, our fight to get America back on the right track is far from over.
