As we gear up to watch our No. 1 LSU Tigers play the No. 2 Alabama Crimson Tide, I want to take a quick moment to say Geaux Tigers! 

Meanwhile, here are a few things I’ve been working on in Congress:

Meeting with US Naval Special Warfare Veteran Joseph Untz

I recently had the privilege of meeting with US Naval Special Warfare Veteran Joseph Untz to discuss improvements to the VA healthcare system for veterans suffering from Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) and substance abuse. Mr. Untz is a New Orleans native and the founder of Project Enduring Freedom, a non-profit organization committed to helping veterans, first responders, and the general public treat PTSD and substance abuse.

Over 20 million Americans have answered the call to step forward and serve our country, including over 200,000 veterans here in Louisiana. These men and women are heroes, and I am honored to have the opportunity to meet and personally thank them for their service and bravery. As a Member of Congress, I pledge to never stop fighting to ensure our veterans receive the treatment they deserve. 

In honor of Veterans Day this Monday, November 11^th, I hope you will join me to honor and celebrate the service and sacrifice of the brave men and women who have fought to safeguard America’s freedoms.

Pelosi's Impeachment Charade

On Tuesday, I joined Fox News Channel’s America’s Newsroom to discuss the release of the House Intelligence Committee’s transcripts, President Trump’s aggressive anti-Russian foreign policy in Ukraine, and Speaker Pelosi’s highly partisan impeachment inquiry resolution. 

The differences between the Nixon and Clinton impeachment processes and the unfair, behind-closed-doors process that House Democrats are using to remove a duly-elected President just one year before an election are unacceptable. Congress should be focused on real issues – not wasting time on Pelosi’s impeachment charade.

President Trump Puts American Families and Workers First

This week, President Trump announced that the United States would formally begin to withdraw from the Paris Climate Agreement. I applaud President Trump for putting American families and workers first by officially withdrawing from the unworkable and reckless United Nations Paris Climate Accord. The unrealistic, liberal policies that make up this agreement hit low-income Americans the hardest by increasing energy costs and killing American jobs. Estimates show that the reduction in manufacturing necessary to comply with Paris Accord mandates would destroy up to 2.7 million jobs in the U.S. by 2025. Those jobs would go to exempt countries like China and India, who emit significantly more carbon than us now, and are allowed to increase their emissions through 2030 under the flawed terms of the agreement.

America is already reducing carbon emissions through innovative technology coupled with strong environmental standards. The United States will continue to advance smart strategies that promote energy dominance and protect American jobs – especially the energy jobs that are so critical to our economy in Louisiana.

It is an honor to represent you in Congress. For more information please visit my website, Twitter, Instagram, and Facebook pages.
