Dear Friend, Earlier this week, a caravan of Central American immigrants tried to storm the United States border after making their way across Mexico. The point all along was to demand asylum from the United States or simply try to cross the border illegally. They know our laws well enough to exploit the loopholes to gain entry. |
Dear Friend,
Folks from across the district gathered in schools, at Legion Hall's, outside courthouses and elsewhere earlier this week to pay tribute to the selfless heroes who have defended our country against all enemies, foreign and domestic.
Many of our veterans didn't get the "thank you" they deserved when they returned from deployment but thankfully, programs like the Honor Flight have given many of them the opportunity for a proper celebration.
The hustle and bustle of the holidays are officially upon us. Whether you're spending time with family this weekend or recovering from your marathon Black Friday shopping spree, I wanted to take this opportunity to remind you to think about a great opportunity to support businesses in the community by "shopping small" when you are looking for some of this years' gifts.

Hillyard Technical School Hillyard Technical School in St. Joseph is training a new generation of skilled workers and helping provide solutions to the current workforce shortage we are seeing as a result of the booming economy. |
Dear Friend,
President Obama famously said in 2016 that President Trump would need a "magic wand" to get the economy to do what he was promising. It turns out he didn't need a wand; just sensible economic policies that needed to be put in place.
I was proud to support common-sense economic policies like the tax cuts which greatly benefitted the middle class and our small businesses. On top of that, we've gotten rid of numerous regulations that were crushing our economy with help from the President whose administration is doing the same at the agency level.
Dear Friend,
President Trump has made it no secret that he isn't a fan of the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) and other trade deals he considers unfair to the United States.
I agree with the President that we need to have fair trade deals that are beneficial to our country. According to the Office of the U.S. Trade Representative, the U.S. goods and services trade deficit with Mexico alone was $63.6 billion in 2017. That's unacceptable.
