An Undeniable Crisis for Military

| Posted in Op-Eds

Sen. Tommy Tuberville and the Pentagon recently ended their social-policy war, and all Americans should be grateful to see this needless debacle come to an end. Sen. Tuberville’s blockade of military promotions – as well as the Pentagon’s perverse decision to wade into a live political fight – has received plenty of media attention.

Fentanyl is poisoning and killing 300 Americans every single day. There are 11,000 illegal crossings at our southern border every single day. These are not talking points – it’s a record-breaking reality that’s hurting American families across the country.

The Moment Demands Leadership

This reaffirmed the bedrock American principle of equality under the Constitution, which notably does not include equity.

100 Days of Accomplishments

| Posted in Op-Eds

As your congressman, I want to address my office’s accomplishments these past 100 days. Constituent services will always be my top priority in Congress. Since January, my team and I have closed more than 300 constituent services cases, helped expedite 105 passports for constituents in the 27th Congressional District, attended 33 events in the district, and helped refund more than $2.1 million from the IRS back to constituents.

You’ve heard it from our governor before: Big bad oil and gas companies are out to rip off Californians by gouging prices and making a tank of gas unaffordable for most families.
