Last week, I was proud to be named a “Fiscal Hero” by the Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget for my work to confront the National Debt Crisis and fix our broken budgeting process. I was one of only 39 members of the House of Representatives to be presented with this award. It is no secret that our nation is rapidly approaching a fiscal crisis.
Think about this:… Read more »
The crisis along our southern border rages on because President Biden and Congressional Democrats are not taking it seriously.
Throughout this Congress, I have continually fought to end President Biden’s open border policies. On May 11, 2023, I joined my House colleagues in voting to pass H.R. 2, the Secure the Border Act. This bill is the strongest border security measure to pass… Read more »
Over the weekend, Iran launched a direct assault against Israel. I continue to stand with Israel, and completely condemn the actions of Iran.
Iran remains one of the most heavily sanctioned countries in the world. However, as recent as March 2024, the Biden Administration granted sanction waivers to Iran, potentially giving the regime access to billions of dollars. We… Read more »
April 15th is one of the most loathsome days for Americans: Tax Day. Last Congress, the Democrat Majority and President Biden increased funding for the IRS by roughly $72 billion. This included funding to hire over 87,000 IRS agents with a focus on so-called rich Americans. However, when you look past the window dressing, it’s clear the IRS is still targeting middle-class Americans at… Read more »
Last week, the Palisades Nuclear Power Plant in Covert received a $1.52 billion conditional loan commitment from the Department of Energy to restart operations in 2025. This is great news! I’ve led the bipartisan charge in Congress behind this historic project because it will bring economic opportunity, lower energy costs, and greater energy security for Southwest… Read more »
On March 20th, the Biden Administration’s Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) finalized a new rule imposing strict tailpipe emissions standards on the light-duty and medium-duty vehicle marketplace. The EPA itself projects the rule to result in 67% of new light-duty and nearly 50% of new medium-duty vehicle sales being electric vehicles (EV) by 2032. Last year, EVs made up less than… Read more »
Last week, President Biden released his $7.3 trillion budget for Fiscal Year 2025. Once again, the President’s budget promotes overspending and an increase in taxes that will only enhance inflation and limit economic growth.
By setting the stage for $1.6 trillion in deficit spending per year, the President’s plan will cause the debt to grow from $34,500,000,000,000 today… Read more »
Last week, President Biden made the decision to give a speech filled with campaign rhetoric rather than deliver a unifying, “City on a Hill” State of the Union Address.
The President’s speech was tailored to a narrow audience and missed the mark with most Americans. On the topic of border security, President Biden attempted to shift the blame from his own failed, open… Read more »
Today, Congressman Bill Huizenga (R-MI) announced Nora O’Neill, a student at Portage Central High School, as the winner of the 2024 Congressional Art Competition. Nora’s piece “From Garden to Table” will be sent to the U.S. Capitol and put on display with other works of art created by students from across the nation. Nora created her piece using oil paint, portraying vegetation from her… Read more »
Small businesses are the engine of economic growth here in Southwest Michigan. As a third-generation small business owner myself, I understand the challenges local job creators are facing in today’s economy. Last week, the House passed several bills to strengthen small businesses and improve economic opportunity in Berrien and Van Buren Counties as well as communities around the… Read more »
