Rural North Missourians know that accessing healthcare can sometimes be a challenge. Longer wait times for an appointment, farther drives to deliver a baby, or getting immediate care after a heart attack are just some of the difficulties. Earlier this month, I told you about the Save America’s Rural Hospitals Act, which I introduced to ensure we keep our rural hospitals and clinics open.

When an emergency happens, every second counts. Whether it’s a heart attack, a farm injury, or a child’s broken arm, the ability to get timely care close to home makes all the difference. Many times, it’s literally life and death. That’s why our rural hospitals couldn’t be more important.

If you've ever gotten on an airplane to travel, you've relied on our air traffic control system to get you safely to where you're going.

This week marked National Police Week, an opportunity to honor the men and women of law enforcement who have given their lives in the line of duty. It’s a stark reminder that anyone who puts on the badge may not come home at the end of their workday.

This week, I led the House Transportation Committee in advancing legislation to enact our America First agenda to secure the border, strengthen national security, modernize our air traffic control system, and cut wasteful Green New Deal spending.
