Week-in-Review

Dear Mr. xxxxxx,

As I head back to Texas after last week's vote in D.C., I wanted to pass along my latest update on what I have been doing to fight for you, Texas’ 21st Congressional district, and our country as a whole:

Fighting inflationary spending and a bloated, aggressive IRS:

On Friday, I spoke on the House floor to oppose Democrats' massive, inflation-expanding tax-and-spend bill.

This bill will raise energy prices, harm American manufacturing, make our healthcare system even worse, and sic a massively expanded IRS on the American people. Republicans must repeal it on day one if we win the majority.

Watch my full floor speech by clicking here.

Friday morning, I joined Fox and Friends to break down how this inflationary bill will hollow out our economy and empowers the federal government to target the American people. We also discussed the FBI's troubling raid on former President Trump's Mar-a-Lago home.
