Dear John,

Recent News

We have a busy season here in D.C., and with everything happening, it is more important than ever that we make our priorities clear to our country and the world. Over the last month, I have attended over 15 various committee meetings for the three subcommittees I am on. With these hearings, we have been able to take a deeper look at issues that not only impact District 6 but our country. During one of those committee meetings, I had the opportunity to question Attorney General Merrick Garland about some of the shenanigans in Texas in regard to the proposed high-speed rails project. This issue is something I will always oppose, and I promise to defend the eminent domain of the landowners of Texas. Check out the video to watch the full question and answer from this hearing.
