As the crisis at our southern border continues to unfold, I am calling on our federal government to put a stop to the influx of illegal aliens once and for all. Enough is enough!

I am deeply saddened to learn about the sudden loss of my colleague Rep. Bill Beck. Representative Beck was a wonderful father, husband, and a strong voice for Tennesseans.

On June 6th, 1944 American and Allied troops stormed the beaches of Normandy to fight for freedom and democracy across the world. We will never forget the unimaginable sacrifice made by the men who faced and conquered evil on D-Day.

This fiscal year, I am proud that we have cut taxes in Tennessee by over $400 million. With $124M in business tax cuts and $273M in 3-month food sales tax, Tennessee continues to be leading the nation in limiting taxes.

This week, I will be highlighting the steps that Republicans have taken to protect children here in Tennessee. The passage of HB1 protects children from being subjected to gender-altering medical procedures, and prohibiting healthcare providers from performing these procedures.

The passage of HB9 prohibits individuals from performing adult cabaret entertainment on public property where the entertainment can be viewed by a minor. We are proud to protect the innocence of children, and make TN a state free of the sexualization of minors.

HB164 requires DCS to transfer guardianship of an infant to a certified adoption agency if left at a Safe Haven location. It would also allow a court to waive the six-month waiting period to finalize an adoption of a baby who was surrendered under the safe haven law.

I am proud to support the sanctity of life here in Tennessee, and across our nation. Protecting the lives of the unborn is a fundamental aspect of conservatism, and I will continue to support legislation that is Pro-Life.
