John –

Dan Crenshaw here.

This week, the House of Representatives descended into chaos and confusion as eight Republicans joined every single Democrat in removing Kevin McCarthy as Speaker of the House. Republicans across the political spectrum - from Jim Jordan to Elise Stefanik to Thomas Massie - have all spoken out against this unprecedented action by a small faction of the House Republican conference. I share those concerns and you can listen to my full interview on this topic with Fox News Radio’s Guy Benson here: https://radio.foxnews.com/2023/10/04/dan-crenshaw-uni/

There are critical issues facing the American people that Congress must address, whether that’s an unmitigated border crisis, persistent inflation, rampant crime in every American city, and much more. The sooner Republicans can unite and get back to work on the things that actually matter to Americans, the better. 

My full attention is on getting the Republican House majority back to work on key challenges facing our country. I’m still advocating for policies to secure our southern border and reduce veteran suicide, two topics I discuss in this campaign brief. 

Now more than ever, I appreciate the support of dedicated donors like you from across the country. The Republican Party desperately needs commonsense, level-headed leaders in office to undo the damage Joe Biden’s policies have inflicted on our country. I try to be one of those leaders every single day in Congress, and I take my job for you seriously. 

If you want to help me stay in office and continue fighting for the priorities that matter to you - not side issues that distract from the real problems at hand - I would greatly appreciate any contribution you can send to my campaign. You can donate at this link here.

Thank you for your continued support, and God bless. 

Now, here’s your brief.
HERE'S WHY BIDEN'S NEW BORDER WALL IS NOTHING TO CELEBRATE
Biden’s announcement this week of a few miles of border wall, to be completed at some later date, is nothing to celebrate.

If barriers are now an agreed upon solution, they need to be the buoy barriers Texas has put in the Rio Grande. Buoy barriers can be deployed immediately and they actually prevent migrants from crossing the international barrier.

If Biden were really serious, he would be enforcing the laws we have on the books right now to stop illegal immigration. But he’s not serious. His border wall is just a stunt to grab some headlines and make it seem like he’s not totally ignoring the crisis he created.
ADVANCING INNOVATIVE TREATMENT OPTIONS FOR VETERANS LIVING WITH PTSD
Last week, my amendment to the Defense Appropriations Act was adopted by a voice vote. The amendment requires a report on potential Pentagon-Veterans Affairs collaboration for psychedelic-assisted therapy clinical trials. Over the past few years I’ve heard incredible testimonies from veterans who have turned to psychedelic-assisted therapies to treat PTSD and Traumatic Brain Injury. 

This is not about legalization or recreational use of psychedelics. It's about honoring our promise to our military families and confronting the high incidence of suicide in the military and veteran community. We have a crisis, and the idea that we wouldn't research potential breakthrough treatments is unacceptable. The status quo is inadequate, and it won't stop servicemembers and veterans from committing suicide.

We have good reason for believing that this research will help. The most recent Phase 3 clinical trials with MDMA found that 86% of the study participants had reduced PTSD symptoms and 71% didn't even qualify as having PTSD anymore. 

These clinical trials are already happening, and we need to continue this research for our service members.
