Our Commitment to America   Dear Texan, As I make my way back to Texas, I wanted to take a moment to update you on my work in Congress and TX-31. ON THE DOCKET: Republicans’ Commitment to America America’s VetDogs Meeting with Killeen Independent School District Constituent Services Update THE BRIEF: In August, there were 203,597 illegal immigrant encounters at our southern border. There have now been 18 straight months of over 150,000 illegal border crossings. So far in 2022, homicide rates across the country have increased roughly 50% compared to this time in 2019. One in three Americans have reported trouble affording gas in Biden’s energy crisis. REPUBLICANS' COMMITMENT TO AMERICA House Republicans are making a Commitment to America to get our country back on track. We have a plan to ensure our economy is strong, our nation is safe, our future is free, and our government is accountable. Learn more about our Commitment to America. Representative Carter attends an America’s VetDogs event to advocate for service members to have access to the program. AMERICA’S VETDOGS I spent Tuesday morning the best way I know how – with America’s VetDogs, talking about the importance of ensuring our veterans and first responders have the resources they need to thrive. This service dog program provides enhanced mobility and renewed independence to our nation’s heroes. As the representative for the largest veteran population in Texas, I am thankful for the outstanding work that America’s VetDogs is doing, and I look forward to continuing to work with them. Representative Carter joins forces with KISD leaders to support military students and their families. MEETING WITH KILLEEN INDEPENDENT SCHOOL DISTRICT I sat down with district leaders from Killeen Independent School District to discuss how we can continue to work together to support military students and their families. Military families have a tough job and continually sacrifice along with their service member for our nation's freedoms. I am committed to providing them the support and resources necessary to thrive. I appreciate all that KISD does for the young people of Killeen and Fort Hood!
