117th Congress

We’re fast approaching the end of another year. There’s no doubt that there has been many times this last year when folks were rightfully concerned about the direction our country was heading in. Policies and priorities matter and that’s never been more obvious. We'll have a new majority in Congress next year and things have to look different—they must look different.

Last week, I wrote to you all about the importance of the Water Resources Development Act (WRDA) and how it will advance the priorities of flood control and navigation. This week, the Senate passed the bill and it now heads to the President to get signed into law.

You always hear about partisanship in Congress. No doubt there’s a lot of things we disagree on. However, we came together this week to pass a bipartisan bill to better manage our water resources across the country.

On January 3, 2023, a new conservative majority will take control of the House of Representatives. We're going to have our work cut out for us.

The American people have spoken. We're sick of rising prices, fed up with the red tape holding our economy back, and tired of getting hammered at the gas pump because we're relying on oil from foreign countries.
