2023 National Day of Prayer

Since 1952, America has publicly recognized the profound significance of prayer. It has always been a cornerstone of our great nation, providing solace and guidance in times of joy and adversity alike. 

ImageOn Thursday, I gathered with the community in Walker County to pray for the United States, Texas, and our families. It was a fantastic display of our love for God and our neighbors. As we continue to pray for our country, let us remember to support and care for one another. We must commit to fostering an environment that cherishes the freedoms we hold dear and empowers us to work toward a brighter future for all. I encourage you to join me in praying for our service members, first responders, and public servants who put their lives on the line daily to keep us safe and secure.

Examining our President's Integrity

House Oversight and Accountability Committee Chairman James Comer and Senator Chuck Grassley have recently reviewed legally protected and highly credible whistleblower disclosures, which allege that then-Vice President Joe Biden engaged in a bribery scheme involving an exchange of money for policy decisions with a foreign national. The disclosures also assert the Department of Justice (DOJ) and the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) possess an unclassified record detailing the arrangement. In response, Chairman Comer judiciously sent the FBI a subpoena to turn over the document.

ImageAs a senior member of the House Oversight and Accountability Committee, I applaud the Chairman and Senator Grassley for their decisive action. This case of potential corruption requires close congressional oversight as the integrity of the President of the United States is in question. The American people deserve to know whether President Biden has compromised our nation's interests for personal gain.

Furthermore, it remains unclear what the FBI has done to verify these claims or investigate further, especially considering the FBI's recent history of botching politically charged investigations. The DOJ’s unwillingness to properly address legitimate inquiries from Members of the House and Senate raises additional interest in the ethical and legal issues that I anticipate will be revealed through this now public process.

On Thursday, I joined American Agenda on Newsmax to further examine Chairman Comer’s subpoena. You can watch the discussion here.

The United States Naval Academy

On Monday, I traveled to Nacogdoches to announce Veronika Willardson’s acceptance into the prestigious United States Naval Academy! Her unwavering commitment, exceptional work ethic, and strong leadership qualities have played a significant role in this incredible achievement. She has undoubtedly demonstrated the potential to excel as a future leader in the service of our nation.

The Naval Academy is renowned for its rigorous academic programs, world-class facilities, and an environment that fosters camaraderie, discipline, and a strong sense of purpose. It is an esteemed institution that will offer unparalleled growth opportunities, both personally and professionally. Veronika’s commitment to serving our country is truly admirable. The United States Naval Academy is just the beginning of her fulfilling and impactful career.
