January 20 marked one year since President Trump returned to the White House. Over the past year, House Republicans have worked closely with the administration to shift Washington’s focus back to the fundamentals: lowering costs, enforcing the law, strengthening the economy, and restoring accountability in government.

On the economic front, there has been real progress. Inflation has fallen significantly from its peak, wages are once again outpacing price increases, and energy production is up, helping bring gas prices down to their lowest levels in years. House Republicans worked with the administration to advance the Working Families Tax Cut, which is delivering meaningful relief, including larger deductions for seniors, no tax on tips or overtime, and an expanded Child Tax Credit to help families keep more of what they earn.

Border security has also been a major area of cooperation. After years of chaos, enforcement is being taken seriously again. For eight consecutive months, Border Patrol has released zero illegal immigrants into the country, and encounters at the southern border have dropped dramatically. Congress has supported these efforts by prioritizing resources for enforcement, deportations, and border infrastructure.

House Republicans have also partnered with the administration to roll back burdensome regulations and strengthen oversight. Federal agencies have cut wasteful contracts, recovered misspent funds, and reduced red tape that made it harder for small businesses to grow. These efforts are saving taxpayers billions and improving accountability across the federal government.

Abroad, the administration has returned to a peace-through-strength approach that emphasizes deterrence and credibility. Congress has worked to support a strong national defense while ensuring taxpayer dollars are used responsibly.

There is more work to be done, but after one year, House Republicans and the administration are working together to provide a steadier, more practical approach to governing, one that puts working families and taxpayers first.

This week, I took part in the House Budget Committee hearing, “Reverse the Curse: Skyrocketing Health Care Costs and America’s Fiscal Future.” I asked tough questions about a problem that impacts every Wisconsin family: waste, fraud, and abuse in the Unaffordable Care Act (Obamacare). Americans have seen their premiums steadily climb over the past 16 years while the government continues to funnel money directly to insurance companies little accountability.

During the hearing, witnesses laid out the data: federal health care spending continues to grow at alarming rates, driving up costs for taxpayers and families alike. I made it clear that Congress cannot fix this by throwing more money at the same broken system. We need real reforms: lower premiums, more transparency, enforcement to stop fraud and abuse, and most important, giving power back to patients.

President Trump’s “Great Healthcare Plan” gives us a roadmap: empower competition, remove unnecessary regulations, lower drug prices, and hold insurance companies accountable.

We’re not going to sit by while waste, fraud, and abuse drive up costs. I’ll keep fighting to make health care more affordable and fair for every family in Wisconsin.

This week, I attended a House Judiciary Committee hearing examining how the Biden-Harris Department of Justice, through Special Counsel Jack Smith, weaponized federal law enforcement to criminalize politics, targeted President Trump and his allies, and trampled core constitutional protections.

During the hearing, I pressed Smith on his investigations and prosecutions, demanding answers on why taxpayer dollars are being used to pursue partisan agendas instead of justice. Americans deserve a fair legal system, one that treats everyone equally under the law, without political bias.

Oversight like this is exactly what we were sent to Washington to do: defend the Constitution, protect citizens’ rights, and make sure no federal office is above accountability.
