Dear Friend,
I wanted to provide an update on the work I am doing in the House of Representatives to represent the great people of Maryland's First Congressional District and to advance commonsense, conservative legislation in Washington, D.C.
Keeping the Government Open for Americans Without Wasteful Spending
For too long, responsible spending has been a foreign concept to Washington. The largest increase of the national debt under a presidential administration took place under President Biden, raising the debt by trillions.
I was proud to vote for H.R. 1968; the Full-Year Continuing Appropriations and Extensions Act, which extended government funding through September 30, 2025, keeping the government open and serving the American people while we fight to reduce wasteful government spending and lower our debt.
Keeping Foreign Adversaries Out of American Educational Institutions
A report found that around 350 universities, including Harvard and Yale, received nearly $18 million combined from foreign nations between 2014 and 2019. Over 60 percent of foreign money given to American universities comes from China, Saudi Arabia, the UAE, and Qatar. Additionally, a 2019 Senate report found that around 70 percent of all institutions failed to comply with reporting requirements in the law.
H.R. 1048; the Defending Education Transparency and Ending Rogue Regimes Engaging in Nefarious Transactions (DETERRENT) Act protects our institutions of higher education from foreign interference by strengthening disclosure requirements for foreign gifts and in some cases, banning contracts between these schools and certain foreign entities of concern.
Overturning Burdensome Biden Rules to Protect Consumer Choice
In 1975, Congress established the Energy Policy and Conservation Act (EPCA) to increase American energy production, encourage efficient energy use, and bolster national energy security.
Unfortunately, the Biden Administration abused their authority to push a radical energy agenda on American consumers, attempting to implement conservation standards that are not economically sustainable nor energy efficient.
H.J. Res. 24 and H.J. Res. 75 overturns the Biden Administration’s rules imposing new or amended energy efficiency standards for walk-in and commercial refrigerators and freezers.
