Dear John,
It was a busy week in Washington, but I’m back to keep you in the loop on how I am fighting for our conservative values.
The overturn of Roe v. Wade was a victory for the pro-life movement. As Americans gather for the March for Life rallies in D.C., and Saint Paul, we know that the fight for life didn’t end with Roe. We all watched in horror this week as the Minnesota House passed one of the most radical abortion bills in the nation. Clearly, our fight for life is far from over. It’s why pro-life Americans continue to pray and work for changing hearts and minds to safeguard the lives of unborn babies, our most vulnerable citizens.
To that end, I introduced two key pieces of pro-life legislation in the U.S. House this week. The Defund Planned Parenthood Act will prevent the organization from accessing federal dollars unless they certify that they will not perform or support abortions. I also introduced the Protecting Life and Taxpayers Act, which will prevent a single dollar from funding abortions. It is wrong to support abortion with taxpayer dollars, plain and simple. The American people should not be forced to support organizations that do little to promote women’s health.
Across Minnesota, people are experiencing postal delays and some days when mail doesn’t arrive at all. This is more than just an inconvenience; many Minnesotans rely on the postal service for prescription medication and other health goods. Every American should be able to rely on the U.S. Postal Service. That’s why I promptly joined the Minnesota Republican Delegation in a letter to Postmaster Dejoy, demanding he take swift action to decrease the mail backlog and prioritize hiring and retaining quality postal workers in our rural communities.
As always, please contact my office if there is anything we can help with. Thank you for your continued support!
