H.R. 7219 – Information Quality Assurance Act
We voted ‘Yes’ on this bill because it requires federal agencies to rely on the best, reasonably available scientific, technical, demographic, economic, financial, and statistical information to support new rules and guidance. Additionally, it requires agencies to publish any model, methodology, or source of information on which the agency relies before issuing a final rule or guidance document. The bill improves the quality of critical information on which federal agencies base new rules and guidance and improves the public’s ability to comment on that information before agencies take final action. This bill is a good governance bill and institutes very common-sense bipartisan reforms.
H.R. 7525 – Special District Grant Accessibility Act
Our office voted ‘Yes’ on this bill, which defines special districts and ensures their eligibility for federal financial assistance.

By clarifying their status as local government units eligible for assistance, this bill helps ensure these districts can continue delivering critical services to communities across the nation.
H.R. 6192 – Hands Off Our Home Appliances Act
Our office voted ‘Yes’ on this bill, which modifies energy efficiency standards for home appliances to prevent regulatory overreach.

H.R. 7423 – Designation of the Luke Letlow Post Office Building
Our office supports this bill, which seeks to name a post office in Louisiana after Congressman-elect Luke Letlow.

H.R. 8289 — Airport and Airway Extension Act of 2024, Part II

With tourism and travel being critical components of the economy, extending these authorities ensures the continued operation of essential aviation programs and services.
H.R. 2925 - Mining Regulatory Clarity Act

H.R. 7109 - Equal Representation Act
Our voted ‘Yes’ on this bill, which gives American citizens fair and accurate representation in government.

By supporting this bill, we advocate for policies that strengthen the integrity of our electoral system.
