John, In one of the final weeks of the 2022 congressional session, we sadly were subjected to the very worst in politics. The very same 219 Washington Democrats who two years ago voted to defund our police and cripple local law enforcement in communities across the country, voted on a series of law enforcement bills simply for political cover. (Watch Forbes coverage here.) They know the bills aren’t going anywhere, but – recognizing Americans stand with police – Congressional Democrats chose to play games with our men and women who serve. As a 23-year police officer, I was outraged at the use of my brothers and sisters in blue as political pawns. Make no mistake: Washington Democrats are the reason police recruitment is at an all-time low and crime is at an all-time high. Friends, you know me. You will always know where I stand. And when it comes to crime and public safety, I stand with our police, sheriffs, and emergency responders. We must do all we can to keep our communities safe and make sure criminals are where they belong – behind bars. |
My Mining Bill Cuts Through Obstruction and Frivolous Lawsuits |
Washington’s obstruction and roadblocks to mining projects in Minnesota, the Midwest, and throughout our country are creating tremendous uncertainty and unnecessary economic stress for mining communities and working families. In order to create more economic certainty, I am championing legislation that would eliminate frivolous lawsuits and require federal agencies to better coordinate. My “Permitting for Mining Needs Act”: - Sets time limits on federal environmental reviews;
- Limits frivolous last second litigation;
- Authorizes memoranda of understanding (MOU's) between project sponsors, states, and tribes at early stages; and
- Designates a lead agency to coordinate reviews to maximize efficiency.

Europe Provides Crystal Ball for Green New Deal |
If you want to see what the result of Joe Biden’s war on American energy policy could look like, you don't have to go much further than Europe’s green energy debacle. As a result of the European Union’s radical green policies and over-reliance on Russian energy, households and small businesses are seeing firsthand the consequences of Green New Deal-style policies – energy is scarce and expensive. Joe Biden’s war on energy must end. I look forward to helping champion our “Commitment to America” that includes policy to increase America's energy independence!
