Dear Neighbor,
This week was busy in Washington, D.C. The House voted to approve a continuing resolution that funds the government through next week and later in March. I voted against the continuing resolution because we cannot keep kicking the funding can down the road and must pass the important appropriations bills through regular order. As the deadlines approach once more later this month, we'll be sure to keep you updated on the developments and negotiations.
Meanwhile, President Biden visited Brownsville, Texas, a part of our southern border that sees dozens of illegal apprehensions compared to the thousands pouring across our borders in Del Rio, McAllen, El Paso, and Tucson. His visit was merely a publicity stunt to ensure the public he isn't asleep at the wheel. Unfortunately for the White House, the American people see through Biden's tricks. I spoke more about this border visit and the crime chaos that has ensued on the Faulkner Focus below.
On Capitol Hill, I had the privilege of meeting with my friends from the Florida Small Business Development Center, National Forest Landowners Association, and the Special Olympics! Advocating for our growing economy, agricultural producers, and important special needs community is paramount to the work I do here. Meeting with my neighbors and hearing their needs and concerns is critical.
Finally, we hosted our February telephone town hall last night. Thanks to the thousands of constituents who spent their evenings with me as I shared more about how our team continues to fight for you in Washington. If you missed this one, our March date will be announced soon, so please stay tuned for the announcement.
Next week is another week on Capitol Hill, and I look forward to keeping you updated with everything taking place next week. With committee hearings and important legislation on the House Floor, there will be no shortage of action.
With all that's happening this Congress, it is my greatest honor to represent you and hear from you about the issues that matter most. You can read below about what we've been up to this week, and as always, you can stay up to date with us here, on our website, and on X, Facebook, Instagram, and YouTube. |
