Dear Friend,

OUR AMERICAN FAMILIES AND JOBS ACT PASSED OUT OF THE HOUSE WAYS AND MEANS COMMITTEE!

Under President Biden’s failed leadership, American families are paying more for gas and groceries, our farmers are seeing input costs spike, and our small businesses are watching their profit margins dwindle.

I’m proud to work with Chairman Jason Smith and my colleagues on the House Ways and Means Committee to advance a comprehensive economic and jobs package that will reignite the American economy, deliver much-needed tax cuts for our families, and cut red tape that stifles innovation and profitability for our businesses.

WORKING TO SECURE PERMANENT TAX CUTS FOR OUR FAMILIES

In 2021, 130 million Americans— including 325,000 taxpayers in our district — claimed the enhanced standard deduction. This is a much-needed tax cut for our families to survive in the Biden economy.

That's why my colleagues on the House Ways and Means Committee and I are working to make this tax benefit permanent so that our families can keep more of their hard-earned paycheck.
American families deserve permanent tax cuts

Every year, filing taxes is both frustrating and confusing for millions of Americans. Not only is the process time-consuming and complex, but also discouraging as taxpayers see a large percentage of their earnings disappear into the depths of the ...

PROMOTING TRADE FOR IOWA FARMERS AND PRODUCERS

MEETING WITH THE IOWA BROADCASTERS ASSOCIATION

It’s always a pleasure to meet with the Iowa Broadcasters Association to discuss issues impacting our local radio and TV stations in the 4th District.

We talked about my strong support for the AM Radio for Every Vehicle Act because Iowans depend on AM radio for their news, sports, and emergency alerts.
WORKING TO MAKE YEAR-ROUND E-15 PERMANENT

Iowa fuel retailers, corn growers, ethanol producers, and our families face uncertainty year after year awaiting the EPA’s arbitrary waiver to allow for summertime E-15. It's wrong and needs to change.

Read more below about my work to make E-15 available year-round permanently so that we can lower gas prices for our families and support our producers.

ONE LAST THING: REPUBLICANS WIN THE CONGRESSIONAL BASEBALL GAME!

I was glad to help lead the Republicans to our third consecutive win!
MY WEEKLY COLUMN: THE REPUBLICAN SOLUTION TO PRESIDENT BIDEN'S $7-TRILLION BUDGET

It’s no secret that fiscal responsibility is sorely needed in Congress. Our nation is $32 trillion in debt, American families hold a record $986 billion in credit card debt, interest rates are skyrocketing, inflation remains persistent, and small business optimism has plummeted to a 10-year low.

This week, alongside 171 of my colleagues in the Republican Study Committee (RSC) – the second largest caucus of House Republicans in Congress – I helped introduce our FY 2024 budget, which balances the federal budget in just seven years.
