Thank you for signing up to receive my email newsletter.

Oval Office Announcement With President Trump

Image

I was honored to join President Trump in the Oval Office for the announcement of the “Golden Dome” and to deliver remarks on how the program and President Trump’s tariffs are benefiting Hoosiers.

President Trump is bringing historic investments and more good paying jobs to Indiana. Click here to watch my remarks and click here to learn more.

Question Of The Week

I joined President Trump at the White House for the announcement of his plan to construct a Golden Dome missile defense system. Do you agree we should do more to strengthen our missile defense system?

No Loan Forgiveness for Terrorists Act 

Image

I recently introduced the No Loan Forgiveness for Terrorists Act. This bill prevents students from receiving credit for Public Service Loan Forgiveness (PSLF) while working at organizations that engage in illegal activities. 

Taxpayers shouldn’t be forced to pay student loans for radicals who aid terrorists, mutilate children, or promote illegal immigration. This bill codifies President Trump’s order to stop subsidizing anti-American extremism. Click here to learn more.

SCOTUS Upholds The Rule Of Law

Image

On Monday, the Trump administration scored a huge win in the Supreme Court for our security, our sovereignty, and common sense.

The Court granted the Trump administration’s request to cancel Biden-era temporary protections for nearly 350,000 Venezuelans in the United States, allowing them to face deportation.

The Biden Administration, aside from opening up our border, encouraging an invasion, and flooding the United States with millions of illegal aliens, also foolishly granted “temporary protected status”—or TPS—to 350,000 Venezuelan nationals.

President Trump and his administration made the decision to end the Biden administration’s irresponsible move and put the safety and security of American citizens first.

Before the Supreme Court intervened, activist judges abused their power, blocking President Trump from carrying out his constitutional duties.

The Supreme Court’s ruling upholds the rule of law and I’m glad to know that common sense has prevailed.
