John,
It’s been a busy week delivering on our America First agenda, but I want to
take a moment to update you on the important work we’re doing to advance
conservative values.
My Republican colleagues on the House Committee on Ways and Means and I sent a
letter to The Center for Medicare and Medicaid Innovation (CMMI) reaffirming
our commitment to value-based healthcare. The purpose of CMMI is to test new
payment and delivery systems that improve quality in federal healthcare
programs while slowing the rate of growth in costs. However, the CMMI has
rolled out expensive models, failed to communicate clearly, and operated with
little transparency. In addition, they spent over $5 billion advancing the
Biden administration’s politicized health equity agenda, which is not part of
their Congressionally mandated mission. The Ways and Means Committee is
committed to ensuring that the Center develops payment models that both improve
patient care and save taxpayer dollars. With President Trump back in office,
it’s time for CMMI to return to its original purpose, and we’re working to hold
them to deliver real accountability and results.
House Majority Whip Tom Emmer, my fellow Minnesota Republican
representatives, and I are calling for an ethics review of Representative Angie
Craig (D-MN) for the alleged misuse of her official office staff and resources
for campaign purposes. In early April, Rep. Craig used an op-ed newspaper
column and her official social media platform to announce “town halls” in
Republican districts, events that were widely viewed as a prelude for a 2026
Senate campaign. House Ethics rules prohibit Members of Congress from using
their official resources to promote political events. While the actual events
were run and paid for by her campaign, the initial announcement came through
official channels. There is no excuse for misusing taxpayer dollars to serve
political ambitions. I’m urging the House Ethics Committee to conduct a full
investigation to ensure accountability and transparency in official conduct.
On Monday, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), led by Lee Zeldin,
issued an emergency fuel waiver for E-15 sales this summer. E-15 is gasoline
blended with 15% ethanol and costs less than regular gas. It gives consumers a
choice at the pump, strengthens the farm economy, and supports rural
communities. Domestic renewable energy can also help protect consumers from
fuel supply shocks and reduce our nation’s reliance on imported fuels. I have
consistently advocated for year-round E-15 sales, so I am very pleased to see
the EPA take this action and provide stability to the renewable fuels market.
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,
