Dear John,

Recent News

Congress is in recess, and this October has been great for spending time with my family and the folks back home. I’ve also been lending a hand to my fellow House Republicans as we gear up for the upcoming election.

Next week is going to set the tone for the rest of the session, and I’m looking forward to what’s ahead. As always, keep your faith in God and hope in mankind. I know folks are worried about our country, but there are great men and women in D.C. working every day to ensure that we remain the strongest, greatest, and most prosperous nation that has ever existed.

D.C. Update

The Constitution entrusts each House of Congress with the responsibility to “judge the Elections, Returns, and Qualifications of its own Members.” This authority was brought into focus in 2020 when Democrats attempted to overturn the certified results of an Iowa congressional race and install their preferred candidate instead.

The Election Observer Program deploys congressional observers to polling locations nationwide to collect real-time, factual data that can assist in election disputes, seating challenges, and other election-related matters. This initiative is essential to House Administration Republicans’ work to promote election integrity and rebuild public confidence in the voting process. House staff members are encouraged to volunteer, and mandatory training is required for participation. 

This year, multiple members from our team have volunteered their time to participate in the Election Observer Program. Through this program, they will be deployed across the country, and I am proud of their dedication to ensuring a safe and secure election.
