Ahnaleigh Wilson is a sophomore at Eastmont High in East Wenatchee, but recently she has become a fighter for keeping biological men out of girls’ sports.

After losing to a biological male in the 2024 Junior Olympics, she has joined fellow female athletes and taken a stand against Washington state policies that enable and promote this unacceptable standard.

It was a pleasure to have her in D.C. this week, where she attended the oral arguments for two landmark Supreme Court cases on the issue, and shared with lawmakers the common-sense truth that men have no place competing in girls’ sports.

Keep up the great work, Ahnaleigh!

Protecting Public Lands

Last summer, we were successful in adding the Secretary of Agriculture to the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States to counter Communist China’s efforts to purchase American farmland. 

This week, I took the next step to protect American land by introducing legislation to add the U.S. Secretary of the Interior to CFIUS.

In this role, the Secretary and the Department of the Interior will have the authority to review foreign investment into lands near public land across the country and help identify potential national security threats to the valuable natural resources we have right under our feet.

Our adversaries like the CCP, North Korea, Russia, and Iran have no business owning these lands, and we need to seize every opportunity to ensure they never do.

YES: H.R. 2683 - Remote Access Security Act (Rep. Lawler, R-NY). This bill would expand the export control authorities of the Bureau of Industry and Security to include remote access to sensitive items subject to U.S. jurisdiction by foreign persons where the use of the item’s functions could pose a serious risk to U.S. national security or foreign policy.  

YES: H.R. 6500 - AGOA Extension Act (Rep. Smith, R-MO). This bill would reauthorize the African Growth and Opportunity Act (AGOA) through December 31, 2028, and retroactively apply AGOA’s trade provisions to any eligible items imported into the U.S. between the expiration of AGOA on September 30, 2025 and the date of enactment. The African Growth and Opportunity Act (AGOA) is a nonreciprocal trade preference program enacted by Congress in 2000 to allow over 1,800 products that are often excluded from other trade preference programs, such as the Generalized System of Preferences, into the U.S. duty-free. AGOA aims to incentivize economic development, promote market-based reforms, and strengthen the rule of law across the sub-Saharan Africa region. Currently, 32 countries are eligible for these benefits.

YES: H.R. 6504 - Haiti Economic Lift Program Extension Act (Rep. Murphy, R-NC). This bill would reauthorize the Haiti Hemispheric Opportunity through Partnership Encouragement (HOPE) Act and the Haiti Economic Lift Program (HELP) Act through December 31, 2028. These are trade preference programs that are designed to assist developing countries through enhanced access to the U.S. market. The HOPE and HELP programs are nonreciprocal U.S. trade preference programs that provide duty-free access to U.S. markets for Haitian exports, specifically targeting the apparel and textile sectors. The bill includes language to retroactively apply HOPE and HELP trade preference rates to eligible items imported during the lapse in authorization which began on September 30, 2025.

YES: H.R. 4593 - SHOWER Act (Rep. Fry, R-SC). Codifies the definition of a showerhead to prevent future reinterpretations of current regulations that restrict water flow and limit consumer options.
