Friend,

The past two weeks have been full of Republican wins in Congress.

I joined my colleagues to Back the Blue with rock-solid legislation that fights the Defund the Police movement head-on. We took steps to detain and deport illegal immigrant criminals and we took down Democrat-led attempts to undermine the security and legitimacy of our elections.

Here’s a brief update on what we’ve been able to accomplish for America:

Supporting Law Enforcement During Police Week

During National Police Week last week, I proudly stood with my colleagues in the House to pass a series of bills supporting our brave law enforcement officers. It's my duty as your representative to stand up for those who keep our communities safe.

Here are a few highlights of the bills we passed:

The Detain and Deport Illegal Aliens Who Assault Cops Act: Ensures that any illegal immigrant who assaults a cop is detained and deported.
The Resolution Condemning Violence Against Police: Condemns efforts to defund the police.
The Police Our Borders Act: Addresses how the border crisis impacts law enforcement.
The Improving Law Enforcement Officer Safety and Wellness Through Data Act: Improves data collection on anti-police attacks.
The Law Enforcement Officer Safety Act (LEOSA) Reform Act: Expands the rights of retired and active officers to carry firearms.

I also cosponsored the Social Security Fairness Act, which will enhance Social Security benefits for first responders, ensuring that we care for those who have protected and served our communities while also allowing America to attract and retain the next generation of first responders.

Ensuring Only American Citizens Vote in Our Elections

This week I joined my Republican colleagues to protect the integrity of our elections with a resolution that disallows non-citizens and illegal immigrants from voting in our elections.

This bill bars noncitizens from voting in elections, repealing the “Local Resident Voting Rights Amendment Act of 2022.”

Only U.S. citizens should have a say in our democracy—that should be common sense— but sadly the Democrats who have caused the border crisis have made a concerted effort to turn illegal immigrants into voters. This measure stops that agenda in its tracks.

Honoring Memorial Day

As a U.S. Army veteran, Memorial Day is a solemn reminder of the sacrifices made by our servicemen and women. It's a time to honor the courage of those who have made the ultimate sacrifice to defend our nation and a reminder that the cost of freedom is dear. Let's take this day to remember those who have fallen and recommit ourselves to defending the values they died to protect.
