Q&A: Balanced Budget Amendment
Q: Why did you re-introduce the Balanced Budget Amendment?
Q: How would a Balanced Budget Amendment function?

The federal government should not be spending more taxpayer money than it brings in. Almost every state has adopted some form of a balanced budget requirement, and it’s past time that the federal government follows suit.
I joined many of my colleagues in reintroducing the Pain-Capable Unborn Child Protection Act. Science shows that unborn children can feel pain as early as 20 weeks post-fertilization. It’s time for Congress to pass this bill and help ensure that these human lives have a real chance.
If state and local public officials jeopardize the safety and security of the public by refusing to comply with federal immigration laws, they should be held to account. This is why I joined my colleagues in reintroducing the Justice for Victims of Sanctuary Cities Act this week.
I also joined Senator Joni Ernst in reintroducing Sarah’s Law, a bill named for a young Iowan who was killed by an illegal immigrant who was driving drunk. This bill would ensure justice for victims like Sarah.
