Week In Review
Our bills will take important steps to empower the healthcare workforce to improve addiction treatment and prevention, expand research into the opioid epidemic, stem the flow of illegal opioids flowing into our country and more.
It is unacceptable that the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers would discharge massive amounts of water into our community without knowing whether the water was safe. That's why I'm calling on them to immediately cease the discharges until they can prove that the water is safe!
This week we were able to make big progress on a number of top priorities, including our water issues, efforts to stop Brightline, help for veterans and national defense. Read about some of what we got done that you might not have heard about on the news.
In addition to the bills we passed to help police, this week was also a big one for our work for veterans. We passed the VA MISSION Act to increase choice and improve care. And, I also had the honor of being named to join the Veterans Affairs Committee.
Small businesses are the backbone of the American economy. That’s why it’s critical that we empower aspiring business owners with tools and resources they can use to thrive. This week we passed several bills to do exactly that.
During my time in the Army, we worked together toward a serious mission: keep Americans safe and free. While I may no longer be an asset on the battlefield, as your Congressman, my core mission hasn't changed. Every day I go to work for you, it's with the goal of keeping Americans safe and free.
This week I had a singular mission: put taxpayers first. The good news is that this week we passed a desperately-needed overhaul of the IRS system. We also held a hearing in the Oversight Committee about abuse of taxpayer trust by Brightline.
In one of the most ridiculous and frustrating moves since I've gotten to Washington, 184 Members of Congress just teamed up to block a Balanced Budget Amendment to the Constitution. I voted yes on this important bill, and I wish more of my colleagues would have done the same.
Our communities are safest when America is strongest. Last week we passed new legislation to strengthen school security and this week we took decisive action to protect American security at the highest levels - including our cyber security and national infrastructure network.
Our schools should be as safe as the halls of Congress. This week, we made strong progress toward that goal by passing two bills that I've been pushing forward.
