This week in Washington...   Washington D.C. - On Monday, I voted for bipartisan health care legislation that will lower out-of-pocket costs for our seniors, increase transparency for all patients, and reduce the deficit by more than $700 million. I'm working to deliver pragmatic wins to help hardworking Americans. Tuesday, I joined my Committee on Small Business colleagues to hear from entrepreneurs about how Congress can help mitigate red tape and piles of paperwork so that America's job creators can thrive. Next, on Wednesday, I had the privilege of speaking on a panel at the Hudson Institute to discuss Hamas' horrific use of sexual violence and rape against Israeli women. I stand firm in my support for the Israeli people as they fight to wipe Hamas off the face of the earth. You can watch the full panel below in the "Rep. Van Duyne in the News" section. Then, I joined my Ways and Means Committee colleagues to investigate tax-exempt organizations and the influence of adversarial foreign actors' investments. Tax-exempt organizations shouldn't be selling out Americans to foreign nationals hoping to push a nefarious agenda. You can click here to watch my line of questioning. Afterwards, I voted to formalize the Biden impeachment inquiry. Joe Biden has impeded our investigation at every turn, making this a critical next step to ensure Americans are given the full truth about his involvement with his family's corrupt business dealings. You can read more about this important vote in the Texas-24 Work of the Week Section. If you want more information on what has been discovered in the impeachment inquiry so far, you can click the photo below. On Thursday, I voted for the FY24 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA). Though I had disagreements with certain provisions of the bill, we can’t let perfect be the enemy of good. With weakness in the White House and conflicts in Europe and the Middle East, we must ensure our troops are prepared for threats from our adversaries. You can find some of the conservative policy wins from the FY24 NDAA below. As always, I have appreciated hearing your comments and concerns over the past week about this important legislation. Texas-24 Work of the Week This week, I voted to formalize the impeachment inquiry into President Biden. Americans deserve to know the truth about the president’s involvement in his family’s corrupt business dealings. I’ll continue to follow the evidence where it leads and hold Biden accountable.
