House Republicans’ One Big Beautiful Bill

House Republicans are working alongside President Trump to deliver his America First Agenda.

National Police Week Recap

Last week was National Police Week. My staff and I traveled throughout the district to thank our Law Enforcement Officers.

I was honored to join Speaker Mike Johnson and fellow House Republicans for a prayer vigil honoring 24,412 fallen law enforcement officers. These brave individuals gave their lives in the line of duty, sacrificing everything to keep us safe.

Border Security in the Reconciliation Bill

I join Committee on Homeland Security Chairman Mark Green in support of President Trump’s Reconciliation bill. The bill not only cuts taxes and reduces spending, but it also funds hundreds of miles of new border wall. Completed sections of the border wall have been a proven, effective tool for Border Patrol agents to prevent illegal crossings. Read more here.

Legislation Happening in Washington, D.C.

S.J.Res.13

The OCC’s final rule on bank mergers imposes significant regulatory obstacles that would stifle innovation, reduce competition, and limit consumer choice in the banking sector. Rather than simplifying the process for banks and the public, the Biden-Harris Administration’s bank regulators added unnecessary complexity by eliminating provisions that permitted expedited reviews and streamlined applications for smaller, well-capitalized institutions. Reversing this rule would help prevent future administrations from implementing similar measures that fundamentally alter bank merger review policies without tangible benefits for consumers or the market.

S.J.Res.31

This Joint Resolution would nullify a rule issued by the EPA that requires sources of persistent and hazardous air pollutants to continue to comply with certain major source emission standards under the Clean Air Act even if the sources reclassify as area sources.

 

One Big, Beautiful Bill

House Republicans will deliver on our promise to end the border crisis and secure the border. The One Big, Beautiful Bill is President Trump and the American people’s agenda.

* Invests in technology to improve border enforcement.

*  Provides resources to support Border Patrol Agents.

*  Completely builds the physical wall.

*  Speeds up the removal of illegal aliens.

Securing the Country

Thank you, President Trump, for deporting these dangerous criminals who have been charged or convicted of crimes ranging from murder, attempted murder, armed robbery, sexual assault and kidnapping. Federal Law Enforcement under the direction of the President is working hard to make our communities safe again.

Update on the March Storms

I want to update you regarding disaster assistance in Mississippi. I have been in constant contact with the White House about Mississippi’s current request for FEMA assistance. I have talked with Secretary Noem and her team as well about the situation. The Mississippi delegation is united in supporting Governor Reeves’ request for disaster assistance.

The March 14 – March 15 storms had a devastating impact throughout Mississippi's Third Congressional District, and I want you to know that I will do everything in my capacity to help our communities recover. Please let me know how I can be of service to you.
