Here in southeast and south-central Missouri, we strongly believe that every single life has such profound meaning and purpose. The right to life is truly one of the most sacred rights we have – and one that must always be defended. And with Donald Trump in the White House, we once again have a president who is a fearless advocate for the unborn. In just his first week in office, he took numerous actions to protect the most vulnerable members of society. On January 24, President Trump restored t... READ MORE
January 20, 2025, was a day like no other. President Donald Trump’s swearing in ceremony marked the end of President Joe Biden’s failed administration and the beginning of America's Golden Age. After laying out his plans to restore America’s greatness in his inaugural address, President Trump immediately got to work enacting his agenda. In fact, he broke the record for most executive orders signed on Inauguration Day. Whether it’s securing the border, unleashing U.S. energy, fixing the broken ec... READ MORE
For years, Washington Democrats have pushed an agenda focused on scoring points with the radical fringes of their party, completely disregarding the real-life impact of these policies and questioning the morals of Americans who oppose them. They claim that those who don’t support their radical trans agenda – whether it’s allowing biological males to share school locker rooms with girls or compete in female sports – are fueling discrimination. They say that Americans are anti-immigrant if they be... READ MORE
When President Donald Trump officially takes office on January 20, Republicans will be ready to hit the ground running to put in place the policies needed to make America great again. In fact, we can deliver on critical pieces of President Trump’s agenda very quickly by packaging tax reform, border security, and energy policy into “one big, beautiful bill”, as President Trump has referred to it. As Chairman of the tax-writing Ways and Means Committee, I’ve been working very closely with Presiden... READ MORE
Just hours after we officially entered the New Year, an evil terrorist drove a truck down Bourbon Street in New Orleans, killing at least 14 people and injuring dozens of others. After crashing his vehicle, which was flying an ISIS flag, the terrorist was shot and killed by heroic law enforcement officers who didn’t hesitate to rush toward danger to save countless lives. My heart goes out to the loved ones of the victims of this heinous terror attack. The people of New Orleans are incredibly res... READ MORE
Happy New Year! We can finally turn the page on 2024 – a year that was defined by crisis after crisis and immense hardship. Thanks to the American people electing a Republican-controlled Congress and sending President Donald Trump back to the White House, there are plenty of reasons to be optimistic about what the next twelve months will bring. With President Trump and Republicans setting the agenda in Washington, we’ll work around the clock to advance the policies we need to get our nation back... READ MORE
Merry Christmas! It’s that very special time of year where we get together with loved ones and celebrate our long-time family traditions. Christmas is a joyous time, but it can also be stressful – whether it’s driving long hours to visit family, running to the grocery store to pick up a missing ingredient for Grandma’s cookie recipe, or making sure everyone leaves the house on time to get a front row seat in church. That’s why it’s always important to take a step back and remember why we celebra... READ MORE
Here in southeast and south-central Missouri, agriculture is our number one economic driver. Our farmers and ranchers produce the best agriculture products found anywhere in the world, including cattle, corn, soybeans, cotton, rice, and peanuts. As a cattle rancher and small business owner, I know first-hand that decisions made in Washington have a major impact on just about every aspect of our lives. And that’s just one of the many reasons I cannot wait for President-elect Donald Trump to retur... READ MORE
On December 1, President Joe Biden proved yet again that he is the most corrupt Commander in Chief in American history when he pardoned his son Hunter Biden for serious tax and gun crimes that would have landed the average American in prison. After claiming he wouldn’t pardon his son and spending the last four years lecturing Americans about the importance of the rule of law, Biden has shown just how empty his and Washington Democrats’ rhetoric truly is. No matter how hard he tries to spin it, t... READ MORE
Just like millions of Americans, I’m incredibly relieved that soon we will once again have a leader in the White House who will fight to make our border secure. President-elect Donald Trump will waste no time enacting the policies we need to bring an end to the worst border crisis in American history. He is working around the clock to ensure his administration is ready on day one to begin the process of making our border secure and our communities safe again. Trump’s plan to launch a mass deport... READ MORE
