Last week, House Republicans took an important step in our efforts to hold President Joe Biden accountable for his wasteful spending that is fueling the worst spike in prices in a generation. With the support of 59 Democrats, the House came together to pass my Reduce Exacerbated Inflation Negatively Impacting the Nation (REIN IN) Inflation Act. That’s right – even House Democrats are sounding the alarm over Biden’s out-of-control spending. The REIN IN Inflation Act would help combat rising price... READ MORE
The Chinese Communist Party (CCP) is quickly rising as one of our nation’s top foreign adversaries. Whether it’s stealing Americans’ intellectual property, collecting large amounts of personal data on families, or sending a spy balloon to collect sensitive information on military sites in Missouri and across our nation, the CCP is doing everything it can to weaken and gain the upper hand over America. Making matters worse, the Biden administration has been completely out to lunch when it comes t... READ MORE
For too long, Washington special interests and big corporations have shaped the policies that impact hardworking Americans. That’s why, as Chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee, my number one priority is ensuring the working class has a seat at the table when it comes to crafting policies and legislation that impact just about every aspect of their lives. As part of my commitment to putting workers first, the Ways and Means Committee held its first hearing of the new Republican Majority... READ MORE
It’s no secret that Joe Biden struggles with the truth. Throughout his career, he’s made up stories and invented facts to help win support for his political agenda. But during his State of the Union address, I was still taken aback by just how many lies he told to mislead the American people into thinking that our nation is in a better place thanks to his administration’s radical agenda. What a bunch of hogwash! Whether it’s the economy, border, energy costs, or crime – the state of the union is... READ MORE
For just over two years, President Joe Biden has used a permanent pandemic narrative to increase command and control over the lives and livelihoods of everyday Americans. Every 90 days – just like clockwork – he has redeclared the pandemic an ongoing public health emergency, including twice since last fall when he had already declared the pandemic over! But this week, things changed. House Republicans announced they would be taking up legislation to formally end the public health emergency. This... READ MORE
Under President Joe Biden’s leadership, Americans never seem to get a break from the spiraling prices they face. Now, they are beginning to see the price for gasoline rising higher and higher – again. This is troubling news for working-class families who are struggling just to put food on the table, clothes on their backs, and gasoline in their cars because of the cost-of-living crisis, which Washington Democrats created with their reckless, $10 trillion spending spree. And it was entirely predi... READ MORE
January 22 marks the 50th anniversary since the Supreme Court’s decision in Roe v. Wade. This somber anniversary provides so many Missourians the opportunity to rededicate ourselves to fighting for the unborn. 2022 was a momentous year for those of us who believe life is a precious miracle from God. Back in June, the Supreme Court delivered one of the most significant pro-life victories in our nation’s history. The court’s decision in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization made clear that ... READ MORE
Ever since I was elected to public office, fighting for the working-class folks of Missouri has always been my top priority. Unlike many of my colleagues here in Washington, I grew up in a working-class family; my mom worked at a factory and my dad was a mechanic and preacher. The values I learned growing up will always guide the decisions I make in Washington. On January 10th, when I officially became the Chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee, I made it abundantly clear that my focus w... READ MORE
President Ronald Reagan once said, “The nine most terrifying words in the English language are: I'm from the government, and I'm here to help.” He was exactly right. Government bureaucrats love to claim that the red tape they put in place is supposed to be for the greater good. Here in Missouri, we know that’s a bunch of hogwash. What these unelected bureaucrats are really trying to do is expand government command and control over the lives of hardworking Americans, especially those in rural are... READ MORE
Happy New Year! With 2022 in the rearview mirror, it’s time for a new Congress to begin – one that can finally start addressing the multitude of crises our country faces. House Republicans will immediately get to work on reversing the damage caused by the Left. We’ll fight tooth and nail to get America back on the right track – regardless of the resistance we will face from the Chuck Schumer-led Senate and Biden-controlled White House. That starts with stopping the out-of-control spending spree ... READ MORE
