Sitting Down with WGNO-TV to Discuss President Biden's Wasteful Infrastructure Plan
This week, I met up with WGNO-TV for a sit-down interview to talk about President Biden's disastrous infrastructure proposal and the potential negative impacts it could have on Louisiana families and small businesses.
Raising taxes that will force middle-class jobs overseas is not infrastructure. Unionizing health care workers is not infrastructure. In fact, more than 75 percent of President Biden’s so-called ‘infrastructure’ bill has nothing to do with roads, bridges, waterways, or broadband.
I'd like to see the President sit down with Republicans and Democrats, not just people in his own party, to work on a bipartisan plan because there are some really good ideas being floated around where we could all come together on traditional infrastructure — not on trillions of dollars in wasteful spending that has nothing to do with roads and bridges.
Visiting with State Lawmakers in Baton Rouge
On Monday, I traveled to Baton Rouge to visit with lawmakers at the State Capitol. I spoke to both the full House and Senate chambers, and discussed getting our economy back open, the National Flood Insurance Program, and our efforts to restore Louisiana’s wetlands and improve hurricane protection, among others things.
Launching Probe into Political Interference in CDC's School Reopening Guidance
This week, I joined members from the House Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Crisis and the Oversight Committee in launching an investigation into improper outside influence on the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) school reopening guidance by the American Federation of Teachers (AFT).
In our letter to the CDC, we wrote: "President Biden failed America’s children when he bowed down to the bosses at the AFT rather than following the science and standing up for what is best for young students. The lives and education of America’s children must be governed by medical science, not political science."
"The AFT was able to successfully bully the public health experts at the CDC into politicizing the guidance. It is unclear how many children were locked out of classrooms and negatively impacted by this disturbing change."
It is an honor to represent you in Congress. For more information, please visit my website, Twitter, Instagram, and Facebook pages.
