Great points, @SBA_Kelly! The “One Big, Beautiful Bill” is a Main Street-first, pro-growth bill. Everyone wins: small businesses, manufacturers and working families. Our bill is strengthening the economy and putting America back on track.

Animal cruelty must be met with real consequences. As Co-Chair of the Animal Protection Caucus, I’m proud to cosponsor the Better CARE for Animals Act to crack down on animal abuse and support the @TheJusticeDept’s effort to hold offenders accountable.

An ICE agent was dragged nearly a block by an illegal immigrant evading arrest—just the latest example of violent attacks on law enforcement. Congress must pass my Thin Blue Line Act and send a clear message: assaults on officers will never be tolerated.

Proud that six of my proposals were included in the @DeptofDefense funding bill to support our troops and ensure our military remains the world’s preeminent fighting force. In the words of General MacArthur, “There is no substitute for victory.” 🇺🇸

The HALT Fentanyl Act has been signed into law!. Fentanyl killed over 48,000 Americans in 2024. This legislation mirrors my FIGHT Fentanyl Act and will save lives by classifying fentanyl-related substances as Schedule I drugs to save lives and make our communities safer.
President Donald J. Trump officially signs the HALT Fentanyl Act into law — permanently classifying fentanyl-related substances as a Schedule I drug under the Controlled Substances Act. This bill will save lives.

It was a pleasure to join @KellieMeyerNews at the #HillNationSummit to discuss tax reform in the “One Big, Beautiful Bill,” trade and the importance of bipartisanship. Grateful to share my perspective on how @HouseGOP is fighting for all Americans.
