John,
It’s been a busy week of visiting around the district and introducing
legislation to help farmers and seniors, but I wanted to take a moment to
update you on the important work we’re doing to advance conservative values.
I'm proud to be a cosponsor of the reintroduced Farm to Fly Act. This
commonsense bill will open new markets for our agricultural producers by
encouraging the use of U.S. crops, like corn and soybeans, for sustainable
aviation fuel (SAF). Western Minnesota’s farmers work hard to feed and fuel the
nation, and this legislation helps ensure they’re part of the future of
American energy. It also strengthens our rural economy, supports jobs, and
promotes innovation in ag-based industries. I’ll always be a strong voice for
our farmers and agribusinesses, and I’m constantly looking for new ways to
support and expand opportunities for them.
This week, I reintroduced the House version of the bipartisan Hearing Device
Coverage Clarification Act,which seeks to ensure that implanted middle ear
hearing devices are categorized as prosthetics. This reclassification would
remove barriers that prevent seniors and others from accessing life-changing
hearing technology. Currently, these devices are miscategorized as hearing aids
and therefore excluded from Medicare coverage. That’s a mistake we can fix. It
would afford wider access to hearing devices as well as allow manufacturers to
receive reimbursement for such devices, potentially leading to more jobs and
more investment. I look forward to working with my partners in the House and in
the Senate to get this legislation passed so that more Americans can receive
the hearing devices they need.
I applaud President Trump for taking bold action to close the Department of
Education. With the stroke of a pen, he put this bloated bureaucracy on life
support. Now, Congress has the responsibility to pull the plug. Since its
inception, the Department has spent trillions of taxpayer dollars, yet math and
reading scores have remained flat for decades. Nearly 40% of fourth graders
can't read at grade level. On top of that, education is fundamentally a local
issue. Nowhere in the Constitution is the federal government given authority
over how we educate our children. That responsibility belongs to parents,
teachers, and communities, not unelected bureaucrats in Washington. The
Department of Education has grown into a top-heavy, ineffective agency that
adds red tape but delivers no real results. Closing the Department is not only
about cutting waste but about restoring local control and putting families back
in charge of their children’s future, just as the Constitution intended.
As always, thank you for your continued trust and support. Don’t hesitate to
reach out if you have any questions or need assistance with anything.
With gratitude,
