Fellow Kansan,

Thank you for subscribing to my newsletter. I am back in Washington, DC for another week of legislative activity and committee hearings. If you would like more information on what I am working on this week, be sure to follow me on social media.

I do not serve in Congress to be a caretaker in the slow demise of America— I serve to fight and work to make it stronger. That’s what I am doing while believing our brightest days are yet to come.

Yours in service,

The Week Ahead

We have another busy week in Washington focused on agriculture, infrastructure, and election integrity. This morning, I participated in a House Agriculture Committee meeting to discuss what needs to be done in Farm Bill 2.0 to provide farmers, ranchers and agricultural producers the long-term certainty they deserve. Later today, I am attending a Transportation and Infrastructure member briefing with FAA Administrator Bedford, along with a meeting of the E15 Rural Domestic Energy Council to work towards signing year-round E15 into law.

Tommorrow, I’ll participate in a full Transportation and Infrastructure Committee markup on four pieces of legislation that encourage the reshoring of jobs to America and reduce the costs of public infrastructure projects for taxpayers. The House will also vote on the SAVE America Act, commonsense legislation to require voter ID in federal elections, and the Securing America’s Critical Minerals Supply Act to strengthen our domestic supply chains and reduce reliance on foreign adversaries.

Funding the Government at Responsible Levels

Last week, the House passed the Consolidated Appropriations Act for Fiscal Year 2026, sending five full-year appropriations bills to President Trump’s desk. This moves the country closer to stable, full-year funding and reflects months of bipartisan, bicameral work to keep the federal government functioning and provide certainty for families, businesses, and communities.

The legislation brings pay raises for our service members, strengthens national defense, invests in education and medical research, improves aviation and transportation safety, and modernizes critical infrastructure. It also includes a short-term continuing resolution for the Department of Homeland Security to ensure border security, emergency response, and other essential services remain operational while final negotiations continue. Republicans are stewarding taxpayer dollars by responsibly funding the government at conservative levels. Promises made, promises kept.

Accepting Summer Intern Applications

My first experience in Washington was as an intern for a Kansas Congressman, so I understand just how impactful a great internship can be.

Applications for my summer internship program are open! Students are welcome to apply for internships in my Washington, DC, Dodge City, and Manhattan offices. If you or someone you know would like to apply for a paid internship with my office, you can find more details above or on my website.

Hosting a Telephone Town Hall

Tomorrow night, I will be hosting a telephone town hall to hear about the issues that matter most to you. I will be taking questions, explaining my 2026 legislative priorities, and hearing directly from Kansans about the policies you want me to fight for in the halls of Congress. To learn more and tune in tomorrow, click below or go to my website.

Meetings in the Office

I spent time last week with Kansans and industry leaders in my Washington office speaking about federal policy that impacts our state. I visited with the General Aviation Manufacturers Association about transportation and infrastructure priorities that support aviation manufacturing, spoke with the Kansas Fraternal Order of Police about public safety, and welcomed KU Chancellor Doug Girod to discuss higher education and research in Kansas. I also met with the Kansas Rural Water Association to talk about federal water policy, with Security Benefit to discuss American artificial intelligence leadership, and with Leadership Sorghum participants to hear directly from producers about the future of Kansas agriculture. Thanks for all of the meetings.
