Time to kick off the week! Here's what you need to know:

Statement on Markup of Vaccine Discharge Parity Act

Democrats on the House Veterans Affairs Committee voted to report my bill, H.R. 6671, favorably out of Committee. However, this bill, as amended, is not the legislation I originally introduced, but rather a purposeful attempt by the other side to kill this legislation, which every House Democrat voted against previously, and deprive servicemembers of their hard-earned education benefits.

Introduction of Making the CFPB Accountable to Small Business Act

President Biden’s woke agenda has come for community banks and credit unions. The Administration's overregulation of the banking industry, all in the name of equity, is squeezing community lenders who cannot afford the costs associated with compliance. I introduced legislation to protect Wisconsin's small banks and credit union which our communities rely on.

"Support Our Police" Press Conference

I stood alongside a few of my colleagues, the Milwaukee Police Association, and the National Sheriffs' Association in support of our law enforcement officers. 

Police departments are being stretched dangerously thin due to dramatically rising crime. Calls to "Defund the Police" and soft-on-crime policies have emboldened criminals and made our communities less safe.

Instead of slashing money from police department budgets, we must give officers the tools to succeed in their mission to protect and serve our communities.

Standing for Election Integrity

Through an Executive Order, Preisdent Biden is attempting to use federal resources to target and persuade potential Democrat voters to show up to the polls in 2022. I joined my colleagues in introducing a bill to block this Executive Order and prohibit the Federal Government from being able to use campaign tactics to win voters.

Judiciary Committee Gun Grab Bill Markup

In the Judiciary Committee, we debated and voted on two bills, the Equal Access to Justice for Victims of Gun Violence Act and the Assault Weapons Ban of 2021. Democrats are uninterested in real solutions to the factors leading to violence, and more interested in banning firearms outright and encouraging individuals to sue gun manufacturers.
