Dear Friend,
We have officially kicked off the 117th Congress! It is an honor to continue to represent AZ-06 in the United States Congress. Each year I have made it my mission to promote policies that will create growth, opportunity, and success for all Arizonans, and I look forward to continuing this work.
This Congress, I will continue serving on the House Ways and Means Committee, charged with the responsibility to draft tax, health, and trade policy. It has been an honor to serve on this powerful Committee, and I look forward to continuing to bring Arizonan's voice to the discussion.
We recently moved offices in Washington, D.C. Our new location is 304 Cannon House Office Building. We look forward to welcoming Arizonans when the Capitol reopens to the public!
Ruling the House
Today, my Democratic colleagues passed their rules for the 117th Congress, establishing an unprecedented abuse of power for future Congresses. Included in this package, are measures to remove rights from the Minority party, excluding our constituent's voices during the legislative process.
During the last Congress, House Republicans were successful in using many of the tools Democrats will now strip away, including the Motion to Recommit, a tool Republicans successfully used 8 times to amend partisan legislation. This is a total abuse of power, and strips away the speech of millions of Americans my Republican colleagues and I represent, which is why I voted against this rules package.
