WASHINGTON D.C. – In the last year and a half, Democrat rule in Washington has done immense damage to our country. Crime rates are at record highs, inflation rates continue to climb, gas prices are skyrocketing, and the border crisis is wreaking havoc on communities across the country. That is why I joined Republican Leader Kevin McCarthy and my fellow GOP colleagues today to introduce our Commitment to America, a clear vision for the future of our country. We will rebuild the greatest economy in our history, we will restore the American way of life, and we will renew the American dream. It's time for a change in Washington, and our plan will do exactly that. You can read more about our vision here.

During Wednesday's Small Business Committee Hearing, I offered an amendment to H.Res. 1298 that directs Treasury Secretary Yellen to provide more information on the amount of COVID relief fraud that's been recovered. Criminals have stolen $100 billion in COVID relief funds, yet we still haven't heard answers from Secretary Yellen.

I also met with members from the National Stone, Sand, and Gravel Association, the world's largest mining association. I appreciated hearing the legislative priorities and concerns of the aggregates industry. 

I enjoyed visiting with the amazing women from Mary Kay, who shared with me what policies I can pursue that allow them to improve their sales in North Texas and across the country.
