A Quick Update

War in Israel 

Israel’s war against Hamas terrorists continues. Even today, millions of Israelis face daily rocket attacks and the threat of terrorist border incursions. I am closely tracking the situation in the region. We must ensure American citizens in harm’s way are brought home safely, bolster Israel’s defense, and support our troops in the region.  
 
President Biden recently submitted his request to Congress for supplemental funds related to the war in Israel and other national security issues. I am taking this request seriously. My top priority will be ensuring any funds provided serve the interests of the American people.

Speaker Vote

The House of Representatives is still in the midst of working to elect a new Speaker of the House. I am frustrated that this process has dragged on and am determined to get back to work to address the many issues facing our country. I remain optimistic we will elect a man or woman that will unify Congress and address the most pressing issues of the day, including: 

• Securing the border
• Standing by our ally Israel
• Stopping wasteful government spending 

Inflation is Hurting Potential Homebuyers

Purchasing a home is out of reach for too many people. Rising home prices and significantly higher interest rates are driving mortgage payments higher. If you bought the median home in 2021 for $271,000 the mortgage would have been roughly $900 a month. Today, you would pay nearly $1,700 a month for that same home. That’s before taxes and insurance. Until we get inflation under control, interest rates will not come down. That’s why, I am working to bring down inflation to make buying a home more affordable.

On Wisconsin,
