It’s National Police Week, a time to rally around the fantastic men and women who protect and serve. I can’t thank our police officers enough for putting their lives on the line every day. Our communities are better off because they’re on the front lines, and I’ve got their back, no matter what. This week I voted on several pieces of legislation that are all centered around keeping America safe, saving some hard-earned taxpayer dollars, and showing appreciation for these brave folks who put it all on the line every day. - The Protect Our Law Enforcement with Immigration Control and Enforcement (POLICE) Act is all about taking immediate action to deport illegal aliens who have been convicted of or admitted to assaulting a police officer.
- Next, we’ve got a bill that would save American taxpayers around $8 million. The Federal Law Enforcement Service Weapon Purchase Act would allow officers to buy their retired service weapons at a fair market price instead of the federal government wasting money to destroy them.
- H. Con. Res. 40 is all about backing the blue and condemning any efforts to defund or dismantle our local law enforcement agencies. This is especially important when you consider how Democrats have often demonized these heroes in an attempt to cut funding from local police departments.
When all is said and done, you’ll find me fighting the good fight for our police and standing up for those who risk it all when they put on that uniform. |
