Democrats Continue to Waste Taxpayer Dollars |
|
Despite soaring inflation, Democrats just forced through a massive $400 BILLION spending bill. What was in it?
- Taxpayer-funded abortion
- Green New Deal policies
- Increases non-defense spending by 14%
- $1 billion to the IRS
- 20% increase for the EPA
- 12% increase to maintain EMPTY federal buildings
This package puts Kansas families last.

The Strategic Petroleum Reserve is Dangerously Low |
|
The Strategic Petroleum Reserve has dipped to its lowest level since 1986.
This is a huge national security risk.
Reminder → Republicans proposed to refill the SPR when oil prices were low, but Senate Democrats blocked this commonsense action.

Rising Costs are Hurting the Agriculture Industry |
|
As energy and input costs remain high for America's ag industry, it's vital that the House passes the Reducing Farm Input Costs & Barriers to Domestic Production Act to provide relief and certainty to Kansas farmers. |
|
Kansas farmers are facing the highest input costs in American history.
I joined my fellow Kansans, Senator Marshall and Rep. Mann, to urge President Biden to waive import duties on fertilizer.

Biden Continues his War on American Energy |
|
President Biden didn't have to travel over 13,000 miles to Saudi Arabia to beg a dictator to increase oil production.
He could have taken a short flight to Kansas and talked with oil and gas producers about how we can work together to unleash American energy production.

|
Over 3,000,000 illegal immigrants have attempted to cross our southern border since Joe Biden took office.
Democrats have ignored this national security and humanitarian crisis for far too long.
I joined my colleagues on the Oversight Committee for the SIXTH TIME to ask for a hearing on securing the border.

|
Over 200,000 illegal immigrants attempted to cross our southern border in June.
Since President Biden took office, 3.1 MILLION illegal immigrants have been apprehended—that's not including the 800,000+ "got-a-ways" who evaded law enforcement.
Border security = national security.

Getting Formula to Kansas Parents |
|
Last week, the House passed the bipartisan Formula Act.
The Formula Act will bolster our supply chains and suspend tariffs on the importation of infant formula.
This is a big step towards addressing this crisis and making baby formula affordable again for Kansas parents.

|
Inflation is Devastating Kansas Families |
|
Inflation is a tax on ALL Kansans and continues to cost families over $400 a month.
I joined KZRG this week to discuss the historic June inflation numbers and what Congress needs to do to fix this economic crisis.
|
|
Inflation is crushing folks across our country.
According to the Joint Economic Committee, Kansas families paid an extra $725 on average last month to keep up with the historic inflation levels.
Americans are paying the price for Democrats’ reckless economic policies.
|
|
Gas Prices are Still at Historic Highs |
|
Why is the White House bragging that gas is at $4.45 per gallon nationwide?
Kansans are still paying historic prices to fill up their tanks.
Gas in Topeka was $2.25 per gallon when President Biden took office. It’s time to prioritize American energy.

Celebrating the Anniversary of the Moon Landing |
|
53 years ago this week, the Apollo 11 mission successfully landed on the moon and showed our nation that anything is possible.
As a member of the Science, Space, and Technology Committee, I will continue to be a strong advocate for space exploration.
