On Wednesday, the Education and Workforce Committee heard testimony from Education Secretary Linda McMahon regarding the Department of Education’s current direction.

There’s no denying that the Department has a mess to clean up after the last four years of failed leadership under Joe Biden. That mismanagement has hurt teachers, families, and, most importantly, students.

We must refocus our education system on student success. Parents deserve a voice in how their children are educated, and students deserve access to an education that meets their individual needs.

Sadly, today’s students are falling behind, with less than one-third of eighth graders able to read or do math at their grade level. While academic performance suffers, many schools are pushing harmful and divisive ideologies under the banner of DEI (“Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion.”) I applaud President Trump for standing up to this divisive rhetoric, but more must be done to ensure classrooms are centers of learning, not indoctrination.

We also face a major skills gap in our workforce. Too many students are steered away from trades and technical careers that offer excellent pay and long-term stability. We must encourage career paths that match students’ strengths and set them up for success.

I’m confident that Secretary McMahon and President Trump's administration will prioritize academic success and student-centered policies.

On Thursday, the Education and Workforce Committee welcomed Secretary Lori Chavez-DeRemer to testify on the priorities of the Department of Labor.

Under Joe Biden's administration, excessive red tape and misguided policies fueled inflation and workforce shortages. We heard from Secretary Chavez-DeRemer on how the Trump administration is working to reverse those failures and build a stronger economy.

So far, we’ve seen meaningful progress with monthly job growth, a reduction in excessive regulation, lower industry costs, and a stronger workforce.

Workers in Wisconsin’s Sixth District fuel our local economy, especially those in our expansive manufacturing sector. I’m committed to ensuring they have the opportunity and support they deserve. I even invited Secretary Chavez‑DeRemer to visit our district, so she can see firsthand the dedication of Wisconsin workers.

I believe Secretary Chavez-DeRemer understands the importance of our workforce and will continue to deliver results for hardworking Americans.

On Thursday, the Oversight Committee held a hearing on the growing influence of Artificial Intelligence (AI). While AI offers promising technological advancements, from eliminating waste, fraud, and abuse in our government to enhancing efficiency, there are also serious risks if it’s not handled responsibly.

Republicans on the committee made it clear that we support AI innovation, but not at the expense of American jobs or personal freedoms. We heard from industry experts who reinforced the need for smart, responsible AI policies that cut taxpayer costs, boost government efficiency, and serve the American people.

Joe Biden's administration took a regulation-first approach that stifled innovation and discouraged the responsible use of AI. House Republicans and President Trump are committed to getting AI policy right by fostering a balance that keeps America safe, competitive, and in control of its technological future.

June is National Dairy Month, and no one does it better than Wisconsin!

Thank you to all dairy farmers who power America with every gallon of milk and block of cheese. I’m proud to have your back in Washington.

Wednesday was National Cheese Day! There’s no better place to enjoy it than right here in Wisconsin - the Cheese Capital of the World.

We recognized the hardworking dairy farmers and cheesemakers whose dedication and passion bring world-class cheese to tables everywhere. Thank you for making every bite something to celebrate today and every day.

On June 6, 1944, allied troops fought on the beaches of Normandy in a defining moment of WWII. 

D-Day was the pivotal moment that turned the tide toward victory in Europe. On Friday, we honored the heroes who fought that day with gratitude and respect. Your bravery shaped the course of history and helped secure our freedom.

I had an unforgettable time celebrating 50 years of culture and community at the Hmong Diaspora Banquet! From powerful tributes to iconic symbols in modern Hmong music, vibrant performances, and shared stories, the night was a beautiful reminder of the strength and spirit of the Hmong people.

I was honored to support the vital work of The Hmong Institute and be part of this incredible milestone. 

More than 161,000 jobs in Wisconsin are supported by the alcohol industry – an important driver of our state’s economy.

I had the pleasure of attending the 76th Annual Manitowoc County Tavern League Banquet at Good Times in Mishicot last weekend. Tavern League Wisconsin plays a vital role in supporting the hospitality industry through advocacy, legal resources, and education.

Thank you to all the members for your dedication and impact. It was an honor to show my support.

There’s nothing quite like a Saturday morning at the farmers market, especially in Fond du Lac! I loved hanging out with the community, exploring local vendors, and tasting some amazing fresh finds last weekend.

Thank you, Downtown Fond du Lac Partnership, for consistently throwing a great event and always ensuring there is something for everyone.

I was thrilled to stop by the Grand Opening and Open House of Gateway Sports Academy last weekend. This state-of-the-art facility was the very first to launch in Mel’s Village, an inspiring new development in partnership with Mel’s Charities right here in Ozaukee County.

It was great to see the athletes enjoying themselves and showcasing their skills for the community.

It was great meeting some of Wisconsin’s young farmers with the Wisconsin Farm Bureau.

Our state is rooted in agriculture, and it’s inspiring to see the next generation ready to carry that legacy forward. I’ll always stand with Wisconsin farmers.

I had a great meeting with the Wisconsin Realtors Association this week to discuss how burdensome regulations and high costs hurt Wisconsin families.

We’re working on solutions that increase housing supply and make homeownership more affordable for hardworking Wisconsinites.
