While the CCP surveillance balloon was shot down, many questions remain. Intelligence reports show what we all knew: this was neither a coincidence nor something to be taken lightly.
We cannot allow the CCP to threaten our way of life and the American Dream. The time to project strength is now.

Our nation's debt limit is the nation's credit card and the Biden administration is maxing out.
I look forward to working with my colleagues from both sides of the aisle to avert a financial crisis, get our country’s debt under control and protect Medicare and Social Security.

Californians in CA40 and across my state are burdened enough by high state taxes and rising costs of living and housing. They shouldn’t be hurt even more at the federal level.
Ready to get work as co-chair of the bipartisan SALT Caucus to lower taxes and make life more affordable.

Presiding over the People's House!
I believe in the promise of America because I've lived it, and I'm fighting everyday to protect the American dream for future generations.

I’m honored to have brought along U.S. marine veteran Andrew Darlington as my State of the Union guest.
Brave Americans like Andrew stepped up to save lives, keep promises made to our allies and show leadership during the chaos following the withdrawal of U.S. troops from Afghanistan.

This week I participated in my first Financial Committee hearing on combatting the economic challenges posed by the Chinese Communist Party.
I will be a strong voice for policies that expand our domestic supply chains, strengthen free trade with our freedom-loving allies in the Indo-Pacific and counter the CCP's efforts to undermine the American dream.

Attention CA40: please be careful when purchasing firewood, as our community’s Oak Trees are suffering from an infestation of Goldspotted Oak Borers.
Help us mitigate the death of our beautiful Oak Trees and prevent future wildfire fuel by reviewing the attached brochure from Orange County Fire Authority.
