Things in Washington, DC, might seem a little chaotic right now. We avoided a government shutdown, but now, there's no Speaker of the House. That's stalled things momentarily. Next week, we'll start the process of electing a new Speaker—a process I know we'll emerge from stronger and more focused than ever on cutting inflation and securing our border.
Our country was built on hard work and sweat equity. A little know-how and elbow grease will get you a long way down the road. We celebrated National Teach Ag Day earlier this week and it’s a reminder that our Ag teachers have been instilling those qualities in students for many years. However, it's so much more than that.

Washington, D.C – Congressman Sam Graves wrote Postmaster General Louis DeJoy today requesting the United States Postal Service (USPS) develop a plan to reopen the Post Office in Baring, Missouri destroyed by the EF2 tornado that devastated the community earlier this month.
Bidenomics isn’t working. When President Biden took office, the average price for a gallon of gas in this country was $2.38. Today, a gallon of gas will set you back $3.85 in some places.
A dollar here and a dollar there might not seem like much to the President, but those dollars add up—fast. That 62 percent increase in gas prices means instead of paying $38, families are now shelling out almost $60 to fill up a 16-gallon tank. If you drive a truck, that cost has gone from a little over $50 to nearly $90 a tank.
Archery, shooting sports, and hunter education courses are becoming more and more popular in schools across the country. Students are getting an education in safety and opportunities that they may not get otherwise. Sadly, that is all under attack.

Remember looking forward to that delicious half pint of chocolate milk nestled nicely in its designated square on your tray? Gone, if the Administration gets their way.
