Americans are tired of a political system that emboldens mega donors, super PACS, and out-of-state fundraising. Today, I’m launching the fifth pillar of my Blueprint for a Better America: Reforming Campaign Finance and putting governing before campaigning. ⬇️

Thank you to the over 3,000 people who joined my interactive town hall this evening. I appreciated the thoughtful questions, honest feedback, and meaningful conversation. Hearing directly from members of our community helps shape the work I do every day, and I am grateful to everyone who took time out of their evening to participate.

Congress has the exclusive authority under the Constitution to declare war and authorize the use of force. The War Powers Act of 1973 delegates some of that authority to the president for a limited period of time.

Keeping Our Promise To Those Who Served Thousands of American service members were put in an impossible position during the COVID-19 pandemic: receive the vaccine or leave the military. Thanks to the Biden administration’s misguided vaccine mandate, thousands of selfless men and women were forced out of the service before completing the...

Investing in real infrastructure is essential to building strong communities. That’s exactly what I saw and heard today at Chandler Road. Thanks to the Clinton County Road Commission for sharing how the $2.5 million investment I secured for this key road will ensure families and students can continue getting across the community safely.

If you are experiencing issues with a federal government agency, my office is here to help across the community. This Tuesday, you can come meet with my team in Westphalia for assistance with the IRS, VA, Social Security, and more.

As Military Appreciation Month comes to a close, I want to express again my heartfelt gratitude to the men and women who wear the uniform and the families who stand beside them through every challenge and sacrifice. Your dedication, strength, and service to our nation deserve our deepest respect and appreciation.
