On January 7, the Supreme Court held one of the most important hearings of my lifetime. They considered two challenges to rules that have been brought forth by the Biden administration to impose vaccine requirements on employers. Overturning these rules is absolutely essential to Americans’ freedom and liberty, and I will do everything in my power to support these cases and fight these rules as your representative in Congress. The first case challenges the Department of Labor’s Emergency Tempora... READ MORE
The American people count on politicians to shoot straight and be honest with them. But this year, President Biden’s agenda has been sold to the public with two major lies. At the beginning of this year, President Biden told the American people that his $2 trillion bailout bill known as the “American Rescue Plan” was desperately needed to crush COVID. Never mind that Congress had recently spent almost $4 trillion less than a year earlier in the name of fighting COVID, he said without his bill, t... READ MORE
On January 20, 2021, Joe Biden took his oath of office and promised to unify the country. But only hours after making that pledge, he abandoned that promise and pushed forth with the most partisan agenda I’ve seen in my lifetime. Now, almost a year later, we are seeing the results of that radicalism. Families are struggling to put food on the table and medicine in their cabinet as inflation is at its highest level in 40 years, driven in large part by out-of-control government spending. Folks are... READ MORE
“And the angel said unto them, Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people.” – Luke 2:10 For many of you, the Christmas season is a time when life slows down. It gives us a chance to reflect and be thankful for our many blessings, for our family, and to celebrate the birth of Christ with our treasured holiday traditions. As we begin one of the most special times of year, I know there are so many who are suffering loss and devastation in southern Mis... READ MORE
Since day one, Joe Biden has carried out an agenda that does nothing but make life harder for the working class. Whether through his unconstitutional Executive Orders or his Washington Democrat allies in Congress, every single policy this administration has pursued has harmed the working class while benefitting the president’s wealthy friends and allies. One of the ways the President proposed paying for his reckless Build Back Better tax-and-spending reconciliation bill was to turn the Internal ... READ MORE
As someone who is strongly pro-life, I was encouraged by the Supreme Court’s oral arguments this week on Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization, a case challenging Mississippi’s 2018 abortion law that bans the option to end a life in the womb after the 15th week of pregnancy. At stake in this case is whether individual states should be able to decide for themselves whether restrictions on terminating a pregnancy are in line with the values of the residents of that state. Our own state of M... READ MORE
Families and friends across Missouri and our nation joined around the table to celebrate Thanksgiving. This time of fellowship provides me with an opportunity for reflection, restoration, and gives me hope for the future. Just like many of you, every year since childhood, I have spent this time with my family, friends and loved ones. For me, Thanksgiving has always been a day filled with eating way too much, playing board games, and simply enjoying the company of family, friends and the sounds o... READ MORE
This week, Washington Democrats rammed through Congress the largest tax-and-spending bill in American history. This bill brings about a fundamental change to the relationship between the Federal Government and working-class families across the country by inserting federal control into every stage of our lives – from the cradle to the grave. It is without a doubt the worst piece of legislation I have ever seen. President Biden refers to this as his BBB Act - “Build Back Better”. But the 3 B’s of ... READ MORE
Just like those chatty in-laws or overly friendly neighbors who have a way of lingering on your doorstep, there are policies enacted by Congress that have overstayed their welcome. But unlike your esteemed neighbors and in-laws, these policies, if left to fester, can have disastrous consequences for the broader economy and the American people. Some of these policies were enacted during the COVID-19 pandemic. Unfortunately, the powers-that-be in Washington seized on what was initially sold to the... READ MORE
This week, Joe Biden officially rolled out his vaccine mandates on private businesses. It is no exaggeration to say this is almost certainly unconstitutional and is the single most authoritarian action the federal government has taken in my lifetime. Joe Biden did this without a shred of consent from Congress, giving the American people absolutely no say over their personal and private medical decisions. It sickens me to my core that working class Americans, who despite personal risk, stayed on ... READ MORE
