It was great to meet with officers from the Grand Junction Police Department in my D.C. office. Supporting the officers that protect and serve our local Colorado communities is of the utmost importance, and I was honored to host a few of the many courageous first responders that keep our communities safe. I will never fail to listen to the needs of those who go above and beyond in the call of duty to ensure that our communities are places where we can flourish and thrive, knowing that we are safe and taken care of.

I back the blue and always will.

The interests of rural Colorado will always come before the interests of career politicians, and I work tirelessly to ensure that our officers are equipped with the resources they need to accomplish their missions and protect our communities and themselves.

We discussed my MORE PILT Act, which will give more resources to rural communities to offset the tax revenue losses caused by large amounts of untaxable and undeveloped federal land. Additionally, my Active Forest Management, Wildfire Prevention, and Community Protection Act will reinvest 25% of forestry revenue back into rural communities. Combined, these two bills will increase resources for law enforcement, as well as for education, firefighting, infrastructure, and more.

Instead of centralizing power in the federal government, we need to put local communities first. I will keep fighting for you!

I joined 100 of my colleagues in the House of Representatives to call Biden out for emboldening American adversaries and selling us out to foreign interests. 

Biden’s recent request to OPEC to increase their oil production is beyond troubling. Sending out pleas to anti-American tyrants projects an image of weakness and faltering American resolve. Instead of taking a serious look at boosting the American economy by creating energy jobs on U.S. soil and expanding access to American oil and gas reserves, Biden would rather drill overseas and support our enemies.

From canceling the Keystone XL pipeline to proposing a ban on domestic fracking and declaring a moratorium on oil and natural gas leases on federal lands and waters, Biden has shown time and time again that he hates American energy workers and will do everything in his power to ensure that American energy security is a thing of the past. If we don’t reverse Biden’s executive orders, Colorado will lose over 200,000 jobs in the next 20 years.

I am working for long-term American energy dominance and introduced the Protecting American Energy Jobs Act and filed a discharge petition to nullify and defund Biden’s job-killing executive orders.  

Nancy Pelosi is blaming the liberal media for not selling the American people on her $7 trillion fast track to socialism. The fact is, the American people know what she’s selling, and they don’t want it. 

Americans struggling with debt don’t want to pay for the horrible ideas in these two bills, including:

• Free college for illegal aliens
• Extra funding so the IRS can monitor all of your bank account transactions
• The Civilian Climate Corps
• Electric school buses
• Salmon recovery
• Charging stations for AOC’s Tesla
• Money for Nancy Pelosi’s favorite golf course and hotel
• Programs to increase the number of female truckers
• Installing WiFi in federal prisons so the Boston Bomber can stream Netflix
• Destroying roads to increase congestion to incentivize people to take public transportation
• And SO. MUCH. MORE.

We can all agree that America’s infrastructure needs improvement, but we can do it without Biden’s corporate welfare package. My American Infrastructure Modernization Act would reallocate $650 billion—almost 6 times more than the funding for actual infrastructure in Biden’s garbage bill—from unspent COVID stimulus money to infrastructure. This targeted, efficient infrastructure bill actually works for America, and it delivers results without raising taxes or increasing government spending by even 1 cent since it uses already appropriated funds.

I joined Jody Hice and 10 of my fellow Republicans in demanding that the U.S. Department of State and Office of Management and Budget speed up the process of evacuating all the remaining Americans and our Afghan allies that the Biden regime abandoned in Afghanistan. Biden and his cohorts have already failed these people once by allowing them to be trapped, and I will not let Biden fail them again. The State Department has been dragging its feet to rescue the people it is their duty to save, but my colleagues and I are lighting a fire under them to bring all Americans home by any means necessary.

And, as I mentioned in my last newsletter, I filed Articles of Impeachment against Joe Biden and Kamala Harris for their dereliction of duty that left innocent men and women dead, including thirteen of our brave service members.
