I WILL ALWAYS BACK THE BLUE 100%
Criminals who intentionally target and attack police and law enforcement officers must be punished to the fullest extent of the law.
That's why I’m proud to support the Protect and Serve Act to defend those who put their lives on the line to protect our families and communities.

THE FEDERAL RESERVE HIKES INTEREST RATES TO THEIR HIGHEST LEVELS IN 16 YEARS
President Biden approved trillions in wasteful spending, forcing the Fed to hike interest rates to their highest levels in 16 years.
This will only increase costs for our businesses, prices for our families, and interest payments on our $32 trillion debt.

MY WEEKLY COLUMN: PRESIDENT BIDEN'S NEW MORTGAGE RULE PUNISHES RESPONSIBLE HOMEOWNERS
Americans who have responsibly saved to afford a down payment and buy a home should not be forced to foot the bill for somebody else’s mortgage. It’s unfair, costly, and wrong.
That’s why I recently cosponsored the Free Market Mortgage Act of 2023 to repeal President Biden’s mortgage fee hike on responsible homeowners and end his weaponization of the executive branch to advance his socialist vision for America.
Higher taxes, more fees, and bureaucratic red tape threaten the economic vitality of our country and the financial wellbeing of our families. The Biden Administration’s ridiculous mortgage rule will burden Americans with more bills while inflation continues to erode their budgets.
