Washington, D.C. – Congressman Sam Graves issued the following statement after voting to pass the Limit, Save, Grow Act of 2023 through the House of Representatives today. The legislation addresses the federal debt ceiling and implements spending reforms that would reduce inflation and put America back on a path to financial stability.
This week I led the House of Representatives in an effort to overturn President Biden's veto of H.J. Res. 27. That's my bill, which would rescind his deeply flawed Waters of the United States (WOTUS) rule.
Republicans and Democrats came together against the President's burdensome WOTUS rule. This isn't a partisan issue. We all want to protect clean water, and the best way to do that is to focus on enforcing the Clean Water Act as it was originally intended.
WASHINGTON, DC – Congressman Sam Graves (MO-06) announced that he is currently accepting applications from North Missouri students interested in attending the U.S. Air Force Academy, U.S. Merchant Marine Academy, U.S. Military Academy, or U.S. Naval Academy.
The United States Postal Service (USPS) is a lifeline for millions of Americans. It doesn't matter if you live in Kansas City or rural Knox County. We all count on the postal service to deliver our prescriptions, bills, packages, and checks on time.
It's so important that the postal service is the only federal agency specifically authorized by our Constitution. Delivering the mail on time is one of the few things the federal government should do—and should do well. Unfortunately, they aren't—at least not in the Kansas City area.
WASHINGTON, DC - Transportation and Infrastructure Committee Chairman Sam Graves (MO-06) today applauded a decision from a federal judge in North Dakota that halted implementation of the Biden Administration’s waters of the United States (WOTUS) rule in 24 states, including Missouri:
We’ve talked at length about the perils of WOTUS. You should know them by now. President Biden’s “waters of the US” rule is going to place much of your land under the purview of the federal government under the guise of “clean water.” However, this isn't actually about clean water. Every little possible dry puddle shouldn’t be subject to the authority of the federal government. It’s bad for farmers, builders, and landowners. That’s the bottom line.
Washington, D.C. - House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee Chairman Sam Graves (MO-06) responded to President Biden’s veto of his resolution (H.J. Res. 27) to overturn the Administration’s flawed, burdensome “waters of the United States” (WOTUS) rule. He noted his eagerness for a House vote to override the President’s veto.

Over the last couple of years, it has become increasingly evident that there is an energy crisis. All you have to do is look at your power or gas bill and you’ll quickly realize we’ve got a major problem. Over the last couple of years, energy prices have skyrocketed, and while they may have fluctuated here and there, that’s no consolation for opening a bill that has tripled. Folks across North Missouri are hurting as a result. Something must be done.
