I'd like to thank Judiciary Chair Jim Jordan for traveling to Minnesota last Saturday to meet with patriots from the First and Seventh districts. He is a battle-tested conservative with a proven track record of fighting for our values and for the truth. That's why his visit was so important to our community. In Chairman Jordan’s remarks, he spoke of meeting the moment and the challenges we face as a nation. I couldn't agree more. And I am especially grateful for his kind words about my work ethic:
“Before I came up to speak, I thought Michelle served on three committees. Now she tells me she’s actually on four. You have one of the hardest working Members of Congress, I’ll tell you what!”
Jim is not only a colleague, but a friend and patriot who cares deeply about our country and its future. Let’s heed his advice: Let’s meet the moment - and take back our country in November.
In yet another example of how the Biden administration does not understand (or perhaps doesn’t care about) rural America, it is proposing major changes to the Fire Brigades Standard. A new rule proposed by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) could devastate volunteer fire departments with new equipment mandates and administrative compliance. Minnesota has over 700 volunteer fire departments that are the lifelines in their communities and are already struggling with rising costs and recruitment. That’s why I joined my Minnesota Republican colleagues in a letter to Acting Labor Secretary Julie Su to reconsider the entire rule or at least provide exemptions to volunteer fire departments.
The Republican National Convention was a resounding success. President Trump made a superb choice in entrusting Senator J.D. Vance with the vice presidency. Vance is a pro-life America First conservative, unafraid of calling out the Left for their woke gender politics or radical spending. I believe he and President Trump are the right pair to unite the country. You heard that in the President’s speech when he said, "I am running to be president for all of America, not half of America, because there is no victory in winning for half of America." Indeed, President Trump laid out a conservative platform to Make America Wealthy, Safe, Strong and Great Again for everyone. We are going to “drill, baby, drill,” lower taxes for the middle class and end the invasion on our borders by finishing the wall and backing border patrol.
It doesn’t matter who the Democrats nominate. America cannot survive another four years of their leadership. So this November, let’s right the ship, elect President Trump and Make America Great Again!
