Dear Friend,
I hope your New Year is off to a great start. It?s hard to believe it?s
already the end of January. I was hoping that with the New Year, Congress would
be ready to make a strong return to Washington and begin working on solutions
to the pressing issues facing everyday Americans. However, Democrat leadership
made clear that would not be their intention.
Sham Impeachment
Democrats have now entered their second year of controlling the House and
they still have nothing to show for it. They spent the first year trying to
find ways to overturn the 2016 election and it appears this year will be no
different. Speaker Pelosi insisted impeachment was urgent for our national
security, yet she waited nearly four weeks to finally transmit the articles to
the Senate. So, now Democrats have carried this partisan and inappropriate
impeachment into a new year. I think it?s because they have no true plans or
ideas for improving our nation, they are just obsessed with trying to remove
Donald Trump from office. Now, Democrats have carried this partisan and
inappropriate impeachment into a new year because they are obsessed with trying
to remove Donald Trump from office. I am confident that the Senate will
quickly acquit the President of any wrongdoing and return to regular order.
Maybe then Democrats will accept the results of the 2016 election and start
working for the American people, but I?m not holding my breath.
Eliminating Soleimani
On January 3, 2020, President Trump ordered a drone strike that resulted in
the death of Iranian military general and international terrorist Qassem
Soleimani. Just a week before Soleimani?s death, his proxies orchestrated a
rocket attack that killed a U.S. defense contractor in northern Iraq. President
Trump?s decision to order the strike came after Iran-backed protesters stormed
the U.S. embassy in Baghdad. was responsible for killing thousands of innocent
people, including hundreds of U.S. service members in Iraq. Yet, it seems that
many Democrats and many in the national news media tried to turn his life into
a ?local boy makes good? type story. The Congressional authorization for U.S.
troops to be in Iraq gives President Trump the power and the responsibility to
protect our armed forces there. He did not need permission to save American
lives. was an evil terrorist and the world is safer now because he is no longer
in it. . Religious Freedom Day
January 16, 2020, marked the 234th anniversary of the adoption of the
Virginia Statute for Religious Freedom. Our nation was founded on the principle
of religious freedom and it's great to have a President committed to protecting
that freedom more than 200 years later. I believe everyone has the right to
worship freely in peace. My office is devoted to ensuring that every human has
that right. On Religious Freedom Day, President Trump announced several
administrative actions to ensure protections for religious freedom. Some of
those new provisions include protecting prayer in public schools, the rights of
faith-based organizations, leveling the playing field for religious and
non-religious organizations competing for federal grants and protecting all
First Amendment freedoms. Christians and other religious people across the
globe face the risk of religious persecution now more than ever. In Congress,
I?ve made it a priority to see that we punish countries who engage in religious
persecution. I am committed to the right of religious freedom here at home and
abroad. Let?s remember how important these freedoms are and let?s never take
them for granted. Too see the full layout of the Trump Administration?s new
religious freedom provisions, please clickhere.

Sweet Home Alabama
The week of January 20th was a District Work Period. This is a time when
Congress goes into recess to allow members to work back in their home
Districts. I spent this week visiting the western side of the 4th District.
photos below show some of the places and people I visited with:
On January, 20, 2020, I sat down with the board of directors of the Northwest
Alabama Airport. We spoke about the importance of this airport for continued
economic growth in the Shoals area.
I visited Blue Origin's new production facility in Huntsville, AL on
Wednesday, January 22, 2020. Blue Origin is planning on producing the rocket
engines that will help American astronauts go to space on American made rockets.

Congressman Aderholt and Ranking Member of the House Appropriations Committee
Rep. Kay Granger (R-TX), third from right, are given a tour of United Launch
Alliance in Decatur.
I also visited Winfield, Alabama in Marion County to speak at the annual C3
Event. The C3 is tha annual combined economic development efforts of Marion,
Lamar and Fayette counties. I spoke with them about ways we can ensure
Alabama's economic boom reaches every corner of both the 4th district and
Alabama.
While I was in Alabama, I was able to meet with elected officials and
constituents in Cherokee, Alabama in Colbert County. Being able to hear from
constituents one on one is one of my favorite things about going back to the
4th district.
Also, while in Alabama the week of January 20th, I toured Guin Elementary
School as it was recognized as a 2019 National Blue-Ribbon School by the US
Department of Education. The National Blue Ribon Schools Program recognizes
schools for their academic success in closing achievement gaps between student
groups. I presented the school with their official award during their
Blue-Ribbon School Ceremony. I am so proud of the studetns, faculty and staff
at Guin Elementary School. Keep up the hard work!
? United Treating and Distribution is a company in Muscle Shoals that
specializes in making pressurized and treated lumber for building outdoors. I
toured their facilities in order to learn more about the work they do in and
around the 4th District. Locally-owned companies like this play an important
role in growing the 4th District's economy.
?? Back in 2018, I worked with Rural Development at the United States
Department of Agriculture to ensure the Northwest Medical Center in Winfield,
AL stayed open. The decline of rural hospitals continues to be an issue facing
rural communities in Alabama and across the nation. Ensuring people in rural
communities have access to healthcare remains one of my biggest priorities as
your Member of Congress.
What's Ahead
In the next few weeks, Congress will begin working on the federal budget for
Fiscal year 2021. I'm also looking forward to hearing what President Trump will
say in the State of the Union on February 4, 2020. It should be interesting
against the backdrop of impeachment. Although Democrats have made impeachment
their top priority, under President Trump's leadership, the U.S. is
experiencing record low unemployment rates, a booming economy and renewed
strength on the world stage. The President continues to deliver on his promises
made to the American people.
As always, if you need assistance with a federal agency or an upcoming visit
to Washington DC, please don't hesitate to contact me. I, along with my staff,
are happy to answer any questions you may have and help in any way we can. You
