Dear John,


It was a busy week, but I’m back to keep you in the loop on how I am fighting
for our conservative values.


I am deeply disappointed by the recent ruling favoring Canada's tariff rate
quota practices under the U.S. Mexico Canada Agreement (USMCA). This decision
hampers opportunities for our hardworking dairy farmers, denying them the fair
access promised within the trade agreement. The lack of appeal options within
the USMCA leaves the U.S. dairy industry vulnerable to future unfair trade
practices, hindering our ability to compete in Canadian markets. I will
continue to work within Congress and with the administration to fight for our
farmers' rights and ensure equitable treatment under international trade
agreements. Sadly, as things stand, this ruling falls far short of providing
the level playing field our dairy producers deserve.



I am delighted by the increasing support and momentum for the Protecting Rural
Seniors’ Access to Care Act in the Senate. This legislation would offer a
nuanced approach to healthcare staffing that considers the unique needs of
rural areas by replacing Biden’s flawed CMS staffing proposal with a better
plan: setting up a panel to guide nursing home staffing. In rural places like
western Minnesota, there is already a serious shortage of healthcare workers.
Biden’s one-size-fits-all minimum staffing approach would risk displacing an
estimated 450,000 nursing home residents nationwide, harming access to nursing
home care. I was honored to lead the effort in the House, and I am encouraged
to see Senator Fischer (R-NE) spearheading the companion legislation in the
Senate.



Yesterday, the U.S. House voted to expel New York Representative George
Santos. Prior to December 1st, only five Members of Congress had been expelled:
three Members in 1861 for supporting the confederate rebellion, and two in the
twentieth century who were convicted of their crimes through the legal system.
While I believe Mr. Santos' conduct was extremely concerning, I also believe
that expelling him before his day in court sets a dangerous precedent and opens
the door for abuse in the future.



The recent reclassification of pistols with stabilizing braces as
short-barreled rifles (they are not) by Biden’s ATF is concerning for all
Americans, particularly veterans and those with disabilities, who rely on these
devices for their safety and stability. Congress, not the ATF, should determine
the regulation of pistol braces, making this an unconstitutional overreach and
an encroachment on our right to keep and bear arms. As such, it is my
responsibility and that of my colleagues to defend the Second Amendment. That’s
why I joined over 60 of my colleagues in signing a legal brief challenging the
ATF’s unjust regulation that violates the rights of law-abiding citizens.



As always, please contact my office if there is anything we can help with.
Thank you for your continued support!



With gratitude,
