Working Family Tax Cuts

Letting men compete in women’s sports isn’t progress. It’s a denial of common sense and the basic freedom to compete. I will not stand for it. 

I voted to pass the Protection of Women and Girls in Sports Act – a bill that makes sure female athletes get a fair shot by keeping biological men out of women’s competition.  

Watch here for more of my thoughts on this matter. 

The future of America's women and girls is at stake. Congress must stand up for women and fight for their safety and opportunity, and I am proud to prioritize this crucial issue through my work in Congress.

Threats Against Law Enforcement Hearing

Today, I participated in a hearing covering the threats against law enforcement. Over the last year, we have seen an alarming rise in anti-law enforcement sentiment sweep across the nation.  This hostile and dangerous sentiment has been fueled by the Democrats support of the anti-police movement. From defunding the police to abolishing ICE, many on the Democrat side have failed to support our brave men and women of law enforcement as they work to rid our communities of dangerous criminals and continue to keep all Americans safe. Check out the hearing and my discussions of it below:
