Ben From Wawaka Visits Capitol Hill

I had a great day with my new friend Ben and his family! Ben is from Wawaka, Indiana and it was his Make-A-Wish America to come to Washington, DC. His parents Robert and Laura have raised two wonderful boys and it was my honor to show them around Capitol Hill this week. 

Thank you President Trump, Speaker Kevin McCarthy, and Rep. Brian Babin for helping make Ben’s Make-A-Wish America a day he and his family will never forget! Click here to learn more. 

Biden's Support From The Working Class Is In Decline

Midwest, working-class families struggle in Joe Biden's economy. Electric vehicles and green agendas won't help. Click here to read my latest op-ed on why Biden's support is in decline.

Touring U.S. Steel Gary Works

America was built with U.S. Steel! Thank you to U.S. Steel Gary Works for the tour.

My Bill To Secure U.S. Supply Chains

This week, Rep. Rosa DeLauro (CT-03) and I introduced the bipartisan SHIELD Act. As the COVID-19 pandemic made horribly clear, America’s reliance on China for making basic things like medicine and critical minerals is a huge liability. Our bill would shine a light on where other such vulnerabilities exist and help revitalize our industrial base to fix them. Click here to learn more.

Wokeness Is Weakness

The Navy put an anti-American radical and scammer on their official reading list. Henry Rogers, better known as Ibram X. Kendi, has always been an obvious fraud and the Navy should immediately apologize to Sailors for propping up a far-left, extremist huckster. Click here to learn more. 

Providing Complete Information To Retirement Investors Act

When it comes to making smart investment decisions, American retirees and workers deserve to be armed with the fullest information possible. My bill would ensure that ERISA participants are fully aware of the financial risks associated with ESG before they choose how to invest their hard-earned savings. Click here to learn more.
