During this year’s State of the Union Address, I had hoped to hear President Biden take responsibility for the mess our country is in and lay out a plan to fix things. That didn’t happen.
Instead, he told us how great things are going, all thanks to him. I get it—he doesn’t want to focus on what’s ailing our country, but to ignore the actual problems folks are facing and the root causes was simply unbelievable. I don’t know what planet President Biden is living on, but here in the real world, Americans are suffering.
A couple of weeks ago, I wrote to you about the Biden Administration’s disastrous new rule to redefine waters of the United States (WOTUS) and explained why this extreme overreach would be a disaster for farmers, ranchers, and families all over the country. This week, I filed legislation to overturn the Biden EPA's new WOTUS rule.
The EPA just published their new rule redefining “waters of the United States” again and it’s a massive power grab. I’d guess most of you have heard the term WOTUS by now, but some of you might be asking yourself what exactly it means and how it could affect you.
I took the oath of office to represent the people of North Missouri in Congress last week. It's not an oath I take lightly. It's a truly humbling experience and the absolute honor of my life to represent you and our shared values.
This week I was honored to be selected as the Chairman of the Transportation and Infrastructure Committee. As Republican Leader of the Committee these last four years, I've made it my mission to look out for North Missouri first.
We’re fast approaching the end of another year. There’s no doubt that there has been many times this last year when folks were rightfully concerned about the direction our country was heading in. Policies and priorities matter and that’s never been more obvious. We'll have a new majority in Congress next year and things have to look different—they must look different. That’s enough about that, though. Christmas is here and hopefully you are already focused on what’s truly meaningful in this season.
Last week, I wrote to you all about the importance of the Water Resources Development Act (WRDA) and how it will advance the priorities of flood control and navigation. This week, the Senate passed the bill and it now heads to the President to get signed into law.
You always hear about partisanship in Congress. No doubt there’s a lot of things we disagree on. However, we came together this week to pass a bipartisan bill to better manage our water resources across the country.
On January 3, 2023, a new conservative majority will take control of the House of Representatives. We're going to have our work cut out for us.
The American people have spoken. We're sick of rising prices, fed up with the red tape holding our economy back, and tired of getting hammered at the gas pump because we're relying on oil from foreign countries.
Thanksgiving is an American holiday, with roots that stretch back further than the founding of our nation.
In September of 1620, a group of English puritans, persecuted for their religious beliefs, set sail for the new world in search of a brighter future and the freedom to practice their religion as they saw fit. The group, which later became known as the Pilgrims, had been living in exile in Holland for several years prior to their voyage, but knew they needed a new home.
