Standing Up For the Right to Life
This week, I joined a pro-life rally on the steps of the U.S. Supreme Court to advocate on behalf of the unborn. The Supreme Court heard oral arguments in the Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization case, which could be the most significant Supreme Court decision about abortion since Roe v. Wade. I'm praying that the Supreme Court upholds Mississippi's pro-life law, and right the wrong that is Roe v. Wade.

Awarding Ponchatoula Student for Excellence in Civil Air Patrol Training
I had the honor of presenting the Earhart Award to Cadet Captain Jackson Fogelman of Ponchatoula for his exceptional leadership skills and commitment to serving his community through the Civil Air Patrol. The Earhart Award is the second-highest award in the Civil Air Patrol Cadet Program, and cadets who earn the award must live up to Amelia Earhart's standards of excellence. They must also pass comprehensive leadership and aerospace exams, as well as a rigorous physical fitness test.
Cadet Captain Fogelman plans to join the U.S. Marine Corps Reserve after graduating from high school this year, and I applaud him for his dedication to our community, our state, and our country.

It is great news that we were able to secure a House Floor vote next week on the ACT for ALS bill, and this is a strong step forward for so many people who are diagnosed with ALS. I am proud to be a cosponsor of ACT for ALS, and am honored to work with Steve Gleason, who also championed this bill as part of his tireless work to ensure people battling ALS have more opportunities when seeking treatment, cures, and independence to live their lives to the fullest.
That’s exactly what this legislation does by advancing key research and advancing treatments, and this is a huge step forward to improve lives and inspire others to never give up.
It is an honor to represent you in Congress. For more information, please visit my website, Twitter, Instagram, and Facebook pages.
