The Week in Review 

Happy Saturday!

I hope you had a wonderful week. I am grateful to serve you all in the 118th Congress. Read below to see what I’ve been working on this week.

Commemorating the Anniversary of the Heinous October 7th Attacks on Israel

On Monday, we solemnly remembered the lives lost during the barbaric attacks on Israel's sovereignty.

Now a year later, the Biden-Harris regime has failed to free Americans still held hostage.

The United States stands with Israel as we fight to bring our hostages home.

Hamas and Hezbollah are relentless in their attacks on Israel’s sovereignty. 

These terrorist groups have made clear that they want the State of Israel to be wiped off the face of the planet. 

Israel will not falter.

Letters and Legislation

Bills Cosponsored:

• H.Res.1533 - Reaffirming United States support of the State of Israel one year after the October 7, 2023 attacks (Rep. Fry)

Que Mala is Kamala? Op-Ed

America is more dangerous because Border Czar Kamala Harris abdicated her responsibilities. Aided and abetted by President Joe Biden and Department of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, more than 13,000 murderers, 17,000 convicted or charged sex offenders, and hundreds of thousands of convicted criminals are wandering free in the United States.

More about Kamala Harris’s failures as the Border Czar can be found in my op-ed published by Townhall.

Alien Invasion Border Documentary

Check out my border documentary titled Alien Invasion. The 30-minute documentary features footage from private ranches along the border, the Darien Gap in Panama, and interviews with members of Congress, Border Patrol, local and state law enforcement, and much more. It addresses how President Biden’s border crisis began, its consequences, and solutions to address the crisis.

The border documentary may be watched here.
