Together we have secured the border, delivered the largest tax cut in American history, unleashed American energy independence, and slashed burdensome regulations. All of this has been done in an effort to help lower costs, increase wages, and expand economic growth so our hardworking families are more secure. I look forward to keep delivering results for all of you in Texas-24.
I had some great conversations this week at our media row talking about all of our work over the last year to deliver historic wins with President Trump. You can always view my recent interviews in our In the News section at the bottom of the Newsletter.
I had a great time at Holland on the Hill with Ambassador Birgitta Tazelaar, celebrating the long-standing partnership between the United States and the Netherlands.
