Friend,
It’s no secret: Washington is broken. We need to root out corruption, end the chaos and dysfunction, put a check on lazy, unelected bureaucrats, and drain the swamp.
This week, I unveiled my Make Washington Work Again package, legislation comprised of several bills to hold the government accountable, shrink the administrative state, and restore integrity to public service. Senator Joni Ernst led companion legislation in the Senate, and I am proud to work alongside her to make Washington more accountable to Iowans.
My Make Washington Work Again package includes:
-
SWAMP Act: Moves federal agency headquarters outside of Washington, DC, bringing them closer to the people whose lives are most impacted by agency decision-making.
-
SCRUB Act: Forces a review of federal regulations that drag down our economy and burden family farms, businesses, and workers. This bill establishes a Retrospective Regulatory Review Commission with the sole purpose of finding and eliminating regulations that drag down our economy, and then working with Congress to repeal them.
-
The PURE Executive Act: Imposes a five-year ban on senior administration employees from lobbying a federal agency where they were employed. It also bans senior administration officials from lobbying on behalf of a foreign agent for life.
-
The SHOW UP Act: Ends Washington's extended "Work From Home" policy for bureaucrats and requires agencies to return to pre-pandemic telework levels. Bureaucrats shouldn't be able to work from home when everyone else is showing up for work!
We have to clean this place up, remind bureaucrats who pays their salary and who they serve, and ensure Washington works for the people, not the other way around. I will do everything I can to end the chaos and dysfunction in DC, ensure taxpayers are respected, and make Washington work more like Iowa.
Read on for more about my work for Iowans this week!
