The world’s on fire, and our ally Israel is being attacked from every angle. I support Speaker Mike Johnson’s plan for aid as President Biden has weakened the U.S. on the world stage. That is a reputation we cannot afford to maintain.

I heard today from the Washington Rural Electric Cooperative Association about the importance of our dams, rising costs, and supply chain challenges facing our region.

I am working to help get out economy back on track, support our infrastructure, and bring energy prices down!

I just questioned Secretary Mayorkas at the House Appropriations hearing on his failure to secure the border and stop the flow of fentanyl.
