Washington D.C. Legislative Update

Recently, I have been working on conservative legislation by co-sponsoring bills, supporting strong appropriations bills through my role on the House Appropriations Committee, and voting on important pieces of legislation. Here are some of the highlights I have been a part of.

Recently, I co-sponsored a resolution to celebrate the historic decision made by the U. S. Supreme Court in the Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization decision. I am proud that Mississippi led the way in overturning Roe and protecting life.

I am a proud co–sponsor of the No American Land for Communist China Act. We must protect property adjacent to our federal lands, military bases, and farmland from being purchased by the CCP.

I co-sponsored a bill to stop the federal government from penalizing or discriminating against a healthcare provider because the provider does not participate in performing abortions.

I also spoke on an amendment during an Appropriations Committee markup that would protect pro-life policies. You can watch my remarks here.

I released a statement on some of our recent Fiscal Year 2025 Appropriations bills. You can catch that here.

Recently, I attended a hearing on AI and National Security. Be sure to check that out here. 

I am working hard every day for the people of the Third District of Mississippi, and I am thankful to serve my state and my country here in Washington, D.C. 

Mississippi is Heading to the Olympics

I am proud of all our athletes across the state who are headed to the Olympics. Be sure to check out who is competing from our state and cheer them on.
