Dear Friend,
For generations, agriculture has been North Missouri's number one industry. As farming has evolved, producers continue to look for new and expanded markets so they can remain viable and profitable. Free trade plays a critical role in making this possible.
As a sixth-generation family farmer, I see the importance of free trade every day. It guarantees that the world is fed and our farmers here at home are able to make a living. Maintaining the viability of agriculture is critical to the success of our state, particularly where we live in North Missouri.
Dear Friend,
It is important to remember that almost all of us are the children of immigrants. Our ancestors came to America because it was and still is a land of opportunity. America as a nation is great because of immigration, not in spite of it.
Even today, America continues to welcome immigrants who come here legally. It is not legal immigration that upsets Americans, it is illegal immigration. Our country has become far too tolerant to those who have broken the law.
Dear Friend,
I hear from North Missouri residents on a regular basis, and I see firsthand the countless infrastructure issues facing our community: closed bridges, roads with no shoulders, and terrible internet. America's infrastructure is in disrepair, and it's long past time we start building again.
Earlier this week, President Trump's infrastructure proposal was released and with it, an opportunity to rebuild our crumbling infrastructure and solve many of these pressing issues in our backyard.
Dear Friend,
When an abuse of power is uncovered from the highest levels of government, it must be taken seriously. As an American citizen, you have the RIGHT to know if there has been an abuse of your public trust.
Dear Friend,
This week I was honored to attend President Donald Trump's first State of the Union address to the nation. Every day I'm able to serve Missouri is a blessing and I am committed to helping North Missourians and Americans across the country lead productive and fulfilling lives.
Dear Friend,
For three days over this past weekend, the federal government was shut down. You probably found yourself scratching your head as to why such a drastic step was taken. Many, including myself, were left infuriated and asking ourselves, "what was the purpose?"
The answer is simple if we look at the facts.
On the 45th anniversary of the Supreme Court ruling that legalized abortion in America, thousands of pro-life Americans will march in Washington, DC during the annual March for Life rally.
The theme of this year's march is "Love Saves Lives." Truer words were never spoken. It can only be love that compels a mother, no matter what the odds, to strive for a better life for her child. It can only be love that gives countless couples without children the desire to adopt these children and devote their lives to them.
From the authorization of the National Road in 1806 to the expansive interstate system we use today, America's infrastructure has always played a deciding role in the success of our nation.
That is why a top priority in 2018 must be hammering out a comprehensive infrastructure package that will help provide a foundation for our country to continue to grow and thrive for years to come.
Dear Friend,
The beginning of every New Year is a good time to look forward and set goals for the future. However, it's also a great time to reflect on the accomplishments of the previous year.
As a child, all I ever wanted for Christmas was a model airplane. Now that I'm a little older, I'd settle for a nice pair of socks and less taxes. While I'm unable to deliver on the socks, I'm pleased to say that Americans will receive a tax cut that will put more money in your pocket.
This week, I voted to send President Trump the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, a comprehensive tax reform plan that will cut taxes across the board for Missourians. I voted for this bill because it puts more money in your pocket, creates economic growth, and repeals parts of Obamacare.
