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 want to recognize all of the small businesses across Minnesota’s 7th Congressional District as we celebrate National Small Business Week. When we shop local, we are supporting businesses that create jobs, support families, and keep our communities vibrant. These mom-and-pop shops are always there with donations to local events and fundraisers. So, remember to shop local, not just this week but every week!
This week, the House passed a number of bills related to our nation’s lands: including three bills to remove roadblocks set up by nameless bureaucrats to impede American energy production; the Superior National Forest Restoration Act (H.R. 3195) to rescind a shortsighted Biden administration policy that bars mining operations on specified Forest Service lands in Minnesota; and the much-needed Trust the Science Act (H.R. 764) to delist the gray wolf. House Republicans are committed to rolling back Biden’s bureaucratic state because we can be pro-energy, pro-jobs, and pro-growth while also being environmentally conscious.
Next year, President Trump’s middle-class tax cuts will expire, resulting in Americans losing their individual rate reductions. This would lead to a $400 billion annual tax increase across the board. Joe Biden has made it clear that he intends to let President Trump’s cuts expire, saying that they “overwhelmingly benefited the wealthy and big corporations.” I grilled Treasury Secretary Yellen in a House Ways and Means Committee hearing over Biden’s comments. While she insisted he would not support increases on families making under $400,000, the President's words and inaction don’t support this. To top it off, the majority of Democrats voted against these same expiring tax cuts in 2018. Do you believe they won’t do it again and leave struggling families out to dry?
Bottom line: You can’t trust the Democrats with your taxes. We need to hold our majority, win back the Senate and help President Trump defeat Joe Biden. That's the only way we can put American taxpayers FIRST.
As always, please contact my office if there is anything we can help with. Thank you for your continued support!
