It was a busy week, but I’m back to keep you in the loop on how I am fighting for our conservative values.
Before I get started, I want to extend my heartfelt appreciation to all the incredible fathers out there. Your love, guidance, and unwavering support make a lasting impact. Happy Father's Day!
A LOT of conservative pundits got it wrong this week regarding the censure of Rep. Adam Schiff because of their haste to weigh in on a hot issue. I voted NO on the motion to table the Schiff censure. If we had tabled the motion, that would have made the Schiff censure go away. Here is the recorded vote: https://clerk.house.gov/Votes/2023269. It's a shame that some media outlets ended up making many good conservatives look bad just for the clicks and likes.
Rule making is no way to govern. That’s why I voted in favor of overturning the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives' (ATF) rule regarding stabilizing braces for firearms. Let me be clear—this rule posed a direct threat to law-abiding gun owners, including millions of sportsmen with disabilities, many of whom are veterans. Stabilizing braces enable them to shoot firearms they otherwise wouldn't be able to handle. Under the current administration's rule, these individuals would have been turned into felons, and that's simply unacceptable.
I am urging the U.S. Trade Representative (USTR) to exert pressure on Mexico regarding its proposed ban on biotech corn. While Mexico has taken steps to initiate procedures for addressing trade-related concerns via the USMCA, we must ensure that follow-through occurs, as a ban on biotech corn puts our American farmers at a disadvantage. This would not only hamper their competitiveness but also jeopardize an agricultural export market worth a staggering $30 billion. We cannot allow Mexico's proposed ban to undermine our farmers. I will continue pushing for the USTR to take the necessary actions to protect our interests and ensure fair trade practices.
