Dear John,
Following another busy week in the House, I wanted to pass along my latest update on what I have been doing in Washington, D.C., to fight for you, Texas’ 21st Congressional district, and our country as a whole:
Last week, I spoke twice on the House floor in opposition to Democrats’ unconstitutional red flag bills. These bills do nothing to address the root causes of violence plaguing our nation and undermine the Second Amendment rights of law abiding American that keep our communities safe.
But we cannot forget about the border either. Right now – another massive migrant caravan is heading for our border. Border Patrol is already overwhelmed, and President Biden and Secretary Mayorkas are doing everything they can to prevent Border Patrol agents from doing their jobs and keeping illegal migrants out of our country.
As I told Todd Starnes last week, this is unacceptable and endangers our country.
The full clip of my Todd Starnes interview is available here.
Here are some more news stories about what I’ve been up to lately:
Baby Formula Resources:
The Department of Health and Human Services has compiled resources for parents struggling amidst the ongoing baby formula shortage:
A resource page on where to find formula in your community here.
A social media kit in English, Spanish, Vietnamese and Haitian Creole here.
A public service announcement from the First Lady and U.S. Surgeon General here.
Passport Advisory:
When making plans to travel over the summer, please remember to check your passport expiry date. The U.S. government recommends renewing passports approximately nine months before they expire, as certain countries require passports to remain valid for up to six months after travel. Instructions for passport renewals can be found here.
USDA Wildfire and Drought Resources:
The US Department of Agriculture offers several resources available to farmers and ranchers impacted by the recent wildfires and drought in Texas. We encourage you to take advantage of this federal assistance if eligible.
Resources for wildfire and drought recovery and risk management are available here and here, respectively.
