Introducing Legislation to Combat Foreign Influence

For years, Xi Jinping and CCP officials have taken advantage of a loophole to conceal their lobbying efforts and influence policy decisions in Washington. I'm proud to help introduce the Disclosing Foreign Influence in Lobbying Act to close this reckless loophole and keep our adversaries out of America's lawmaking process. Read more HERE

Honoring Bob and Elizabeth Dole

The Gerald R. Ford Medal is given for distinguished public service to our nation, and very few Americans are more deserving of this award than Senator Bob and Elizabeth Dole. The United States would not be the same without the Dole's service and sacrifice. Read more HERE

The assassination of former Prime Minister Shinzo Abe is a huge loss for Japan, the United States, and the world. His leadership on the global stage will be greatly missed. Join me in praying for the Japanese people during this difficult time. More HERE

Meeting with the Topeka Rescue Mission

Great spending time with volunteers and staff at the Topeka Rescue Mission's Mobile Access Partnership event last week. This fantastic program brings essential services to those in need throughout our community.

Skyrocketing Prices Impact All Americans

Farmers and ranchers across Kansas are struggling to keep up with President Biden's soaring energy prices and historic inflation. As input costs continue to skyrocket, total farm production expenses are expected to exceed $400 billion this year—the highest in American history.

Skyrocketing gas and food prices made this the most expensive Fourth of July in history. Every Kansan is feeling the negative impact of President Biden's historic inflation. It's time to cut federal spending. Read more HERE

Biden Attacks Small Business Owners

President Biden is now blaming small business owners for his failed energy agenda. Gas station owners are lucky if they make just a few cents per gallon of gas they sell. Here's the truth → the Biden Administration prioritized the Green New Deal & now Kansans are paying the price.

Deadly Drugs are Pouring Across Biden's Open Border

A record 107,000 Americans died of drug overdoses last year—71,000 caused by fentanyl. The cartels are getting rich by pushing this deadly drug from China across our wide-open southern border and into our communities. It’s time to take action. It’s time to secure the border.

Celebrating the SCOTUS Ruling on EPA Overreach

Since day one in office, President Biden and the EPA have waged war against American energy companies. Now, Kansans are paying the price at the pump. This SCOTUS decision helps ensure Congress makes our nation's laws—not unelected bureaucrats at the EPA. Read more HERE
