Make no mistake, the past two years of chaos on our nation’s southern border have had a direct impact on Southwest Michigan.

Weekly Column: Standing Up for Farmers, Consumers, and Southwest Michigan

| Posted in In The News

Last week, I had the pleasure of meeting with farmers in Berrien County. Our conversation largely revolved around how rising costs are impacting the ability of farmers to stay in business. The last thing our agriculture community needs – especially considering inflation and supply chain issues – is another price increase that makes it harder for them to help feed our nation. Sadly, the…

Weekly Column: My SPR Transparency Bill Reduces Political Games & Strengthens Energy Security

| Posted in In The News

Our nation’s strategic energy reserves should be used in cases of emergency, not political expediency. In the run up to the 2022 elections, President Biden drained millions upon millions of barrels from the Strategic Petroleum Reserve (SPR). These withdrawals were so massive, they dropped our reserves to their lowest level in roughly 40 years. Taking such action without having a clear…

Information comes at us today at a pace like never before. One effective way I have found to communicate with constituents (besides weekly newspaper columns) is hosting telephone town hall conversations. On March 27th, I held my first telephone town hall as the representative of Michigan’s 4th Congressional District. I took questions from across the district on a host of topics including…

Last week, the House passed legislation to empower parents to play a greater role in their children’s education known as the Parents Bill of Rights Act.
