January 9th marked National Law Enforcement Appreciation Day. While every day is an opportunity to show our appreciation to all the men and women who serve our communities, we should take time to honor the profound dedication of the law enforcement officers who willingly put their lives on the line to protect our family and neighbors daily.

A new year means evaluating what’s working, what isn’t, and what we need to focus on in the new year. That’s no different in Congress. America is coming to a crossroads politically, economically, and internationally. We must remain committed to securing American prosperity for generations to come and focus on doing the things that ensure that happens.

We’re coming to the close of another year and hopefully you are ending it on a high note. Each year brings its share of ups and downs, and this one was no different.

One of the things I look forward to each year as a Member of Congress is nominating some of North Missouri’s finest young men and women for admission to one of our nation’s great service academies: the U.S. Military Academy (West Point), U.S. Naval Academy, U.S. Air Force Academy, and the U.S. Merchant Marine Academy.
