Dear john,

It's been a fantastic few weeks representing our constituent bosses from TX-04. From hearings on the southern border crisis, twitter, and more, we have started to uncover a lot of the policy failures of the Biden administration over the past two years. It's about time we are able to bring truth to light.

Last week, TX04 experienced an extreme storm. Our prayers are with those who may have lost their homes, or sustained damages from the storm. We have created an Extreme Weather page with resources on our website, most importantly, it includes a link to the damage reporting portal with the Texas Division of Emergency Management.

As we receive more information and updated information, we will continue to update our website as well.

If you have any questions, or need help with a federal agency, please don't hesitate to contact one of YOUR offices both in district or in Washington.

Should Pete Buttigieg resign for his policy actions in response to the Ohio train derailment?

Yes

No

The State of Reality

Joe Biden's State of the Union Address last month put the administration’s policy failures in plain sight for the American people. Repeatedly, Biden assured the American people that inflation is down, especially inflation relating to food and food products.

However, I'd like to present The State of Reality.

In January, the Consumer Price Report (CPI) - a trusted indicator of inflation - was released, and delivered startling news. Inflation is not slowing down! Instead, prices across the board have increased another 6.4% from last January! In January of 2021, inflation was at just 1.4%.

The State of Reality by the Numbers:

Eggs are up 70.1%
Butter and margarine are up 32.5%
Fuel Oil is up 27.7%
Lettuce is up 17.2%
Milk is up 11.0%
Food at elementary and secondary schools is up 301.9%

The State of Reality is people emptying savings accounts, working second or third jobs, and taking out loans just to put food on the table - as skyrocketing costs have cost families $10,000 over the past two years.

We must pass sensible spending bills and put Americans' back in control of their wallets. With over $31 trillion in debt, when is enough, enough? If we cannot work together to stop this inflationary spiral, I fear for the economic future of our nation.

It’s time to clean up the mess!

For Texas and Liberty
