John,
It’s been a busy week promoting the passage of President Trump’s One Big
Beautiful Bill and informing the district about the important work we are doing
to advance our conservative values.
President Trump’s One Big Beautiful Bill (OBBB) passed and was signed into
law. This was a momentous occasion after my Republican colleagues and I spent
years listening to our constituents about what’s important to them. Our bill
delivered on those issues first and foremost by keeping families in the North
Star State from facing a 24% tax hike, one of the largest in history. It also
supports small businesses by making the 199A small business tax deduction
permanent, cutting red tape, and doubling the small business expensing limit to
$2.5 million. It establishes full and permanent expensing, a policy allowing
businesses to immediately deduct the cost of their investments in capital
assets. It pulls federal tax dollars away from abortion providers, such as
Planned Parenthood. It allocates money to finish the border wall and support
deportation and border security measures. Key provisions for our district are
the $50 billion Rural Transformation Fund for state investments in rural health
and $65 billion for farm programs, crop insurance improvements, and animal
disease control and research.
I applaud President Trump and my colleagues for passing such a monumental bill
that will benefit our district, our state, and our entire nation.
I joined J.P. Cola on KWLM Radio and Scott Hennen on WZFG The Flag to talk
about the wins in the OBBB and dispel the myths that vulnerable people will be
cut off from benefits. On the contrary, the Medicaid provisions are targeting
waste, fraud, and abuse, such as people enrolled in more than one state. It
also improves eligibility requirements to block illegal aliens from receiving
this benefit. By removing people who are gaming the system, we are protecting
Medicaid to be available for those who truly need it: children, pregnant women,
and people with disabilities.
I joined my fellow Minnesota Republican Representatives, along with our
Wisconsin neighbors Rep. Tom Tiffany and Rep. Glenn Grothman, in a letter to
the U.S. ambassador to Canada urging our neighbors to the north to do a better
job in managing their forests and wildfires. Canadian forest fires release
smoke, pollutants, and particles that blanket states like Wisconsin and
Minnesota in smog. This leads to dangerous air quality issues, breathing
problems among residents, and takes away our ability to spend time outdoors.
The suffocating Canadian wildfire smoke can be prevented if government
officials handled, cared for, and protected their forests, which is currently
not the case. We urge Canadian officials to take better preventative measures
going forward to ensure that Canadians and Americans alike do not continue to
suffer from these catastrophic wildfires.
Finally, I cosponsored Representative Mike Kelly's Improving Seniors’ Timely
Access to Care Act, which aims to amend the Social Security Act by streamlining
the prior authorization process for Medicare Advantage plans. Too often, delays
in approvals disrupt patient care and put seniors at risk. These delays aren’t
just personal nuisances: they give way to gaps in care, leaving many seniors
susceptible to worse health outcomes. This bill will cut red tape, improve
patient access to crucial medical services, and make it easier for providers to
care for older Americans. I call on all of my House and Senate colleagues to
pass this bill immediately and provide relief to our seniors.
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,
