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 failure to impeach Homeland Security Secretary
Alejandro Mayorkas. Make no mistake: The impeachment political process should
never be abused—as Democrats did twice with President Trump. However, in the
case of Secretary Mayorkas, he has shown a willful and reckless disregard for
his duty to secure the border. His incompetence and inaction have allowed
drugs, criminals, gang members, and suspected terrorists to cross both borders
en masse. While Mayorkas escapes consequences, Congress must do everything in
its power to secure the border and enforce the laws already in place.



This week, I co-signed a letter urging House and Appropriations Committee
leadership to delist the gray wolf under the Endangered Species Act (ESA). The
gray wolf population has recovered since its initial listing in 1978, and the
International Union for Conservation Nature's (IUCN) Species Survival
Commission has reclassified it as a species with the least concern for
extinction. The current overpopulation of gray wolves, particularly in northern
Minnesota, is not only detrimental to the environment but also a threat to
farmers. Activist groups and judges' efforts to block delisting ignore the fact
that state governments can manage populations responsibly and meet the needs of
local communities, ranchers, livestock, and wildlife.



On Thursday, I visited the southern border in Arizona and participated in an
oversight field hearing of the House Natural Resources’ Subcommittee on Federal
Lands. The hearing was titled“Biden’s Border Crisis: The Consequences of
Failing to Secure Federal Border Lands” and examined the environmental
consequences and national security implications of President Biden’s failure to
secure our southern federal border lands. I appreciated the opportunity to hear
first hand from the people directly impacted by this administration’s failures.
Despite years of record illegal border crossings, I was inspired when Cochise
County Sheriff Mark Dannels said that he was elected to promote the quality of
life for the citizens of his county and enforce the rule of law. “The day I
give up hope, that’s the day we're in a hell of a lot of trouble. And we'll
never give up [on our people].” Cochise County is fortunate to have such
dedicated public servants standing together on their behalf.



I’m pleased to share that Senator Tim Scott (R-SC) introduced the Supporting
Pregnant and Parenting Women and Families Act, which is companion legislation
to my bill that passed through the House last month. Our legislation aims to
protect the use of Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) funds for
pregnancy centers in response to a vindictive Biden administration rule that
would restrict such funding in a disturbing attempt to cut off care and steer
mothers toward abortion.


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



With gratitude,
