117th Congress
WASHINGTON, DC – Bipartisan bills to address red tape and enable the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) to better prepare for and respond to disasters cleared the House Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure today.
We’ve all seen the headlines by now—cargo ships piling up at our ports for weeks, resulting in delays, shortages, and empty store shelves. The supply chain crisis is real. It’s a growing problem that affects every American, no matter where you live, no matter what your political beliefs are, and no matter how much money you make.
Washington, D.C. - House Republicans, led by Transportation and Infrastructure Committee Ranking Member Sam Graves (R-MO) and Natural Resources Ranking Member Bruce Westerman (R-AR), urged President Biden to immediately reconsider radical partisan policies that are making already growing U.S. supply chain issues significantly worse.
WASHINGTON, DC – Congressman Sam Graves (R-MO) introduced the Small Project Efficient and Effective Disaster (SPEED) Recovery Act to help small communities recover from disasters more quickly by allowing more small recovery projects to proceed under simplified procedures—giving communities more control and more tools to rebuild and recover.
WASHINGTON, DC – Congressman Sam Graves joined 50 of his colleagues this week in urging the Social Security Administration to reopen their Field Offices across the country.
For over a year and a half, senior citizens who showed up expecting help at their local Social Security office have been met with a “CLOSED” sign. When COVID-19 hit, the Social Security Administration, like the rest of the world, shut their doors to the public. The problem was that they never reopened.
When it comes to educating our children, parents should be at the absolute center of that conversation. After all, nobody should be more invested in ensuring kids get a quality education than their parents.
The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) has no business snooping through our bank accounts—but that’s exactly what they’re trying to do. Buried deep within the Administration’s proposed budget is a sneaky little provision that would require banks large and small to report all transaction data for every bank account with more than $600 of deposits or withdrawals in a year.
WASHINGTON, DC – Congressman Sam Graves (MO-06) joined Republican colleagues to ask conferees to strip a Red Flag law provision from the FY2022 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA). The members sent a letter to the chairs and ranking members of the House and Senate Armed Services Committees expressing grave concern over Sec. 529 of H.R.
