House Budget Committee hearing discusses President Biden's Fiscal Year 2023 Budget

In March, America recognized National Agriculture Week. Agriculture is Mississippi's top industry and home to approximately 34,700 farms. Numerous businesses and industries provide farmers with the goods and services they need to feed and clothe America and well beyond. As a member of the House Agriculture Committee, I will continue to advocate on behalf of our First District farmers and ranchers. In August, I joined my colleagues in a letter to the U.S. Department of Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack to discuss our concerns about China buying land all over the world. To read the letter, please click on the link. 

The James M. Inhofe National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) for Fiscal Year 2023 passed The U.S. Senate and the U.S. House of Representatives and has been signed into law by President Joe Biden.

This month, I joined my colleagues on the House floor to discuss this important legislation that provides the tools our service members need to defend America. To watch my remarks, please click on the link. To read the full text of the FY23 NDAA, please click HERE.

In 2022, our office welcomed Pam Tolbert, our recipient of the Sergeant First Class Sean Cooley and Specialist Christopher Horton Congressional Gold Star Family Fellowship. Mrs. Tolbert is the second Gold Star family member to be selected for the fellowship. H.R. 107, passed in October 2019, established a twelve-month, fully-funded fellowship in a Congressional office for siblings, spouses, parents, or children of service members who have lost their lives in service to our great Nation. 

We were pleased to welcome Lindsay Grantham to Washington, D.C., to officially recognize the Booneville High School student as the winner of Mississippi's First Congressional District Art Competition. Lindsay's artwork is being displayed in the U.S. Capitol complex along with winners from across the United States.
