John,
It was a busy week in Washington as we passed three more spending bills,
rolled back more regulations, and advanced pro-life policies that support women
and families. Here are some other issues from this week that I want to
highlight.
Once again, Minnesota is in the national spotlight for the wrong reasons. If
Gov. Walz and Minneapolis Mayor Frey had enforced immigration laws from the
start, ICE wouldn’t have to clean up their mess. The loss of life in
Minneapolis is tragic, but federal officers should never be threatened or
forced into split-second decisions because of reckless and dangerous rhetoric.
I am proud to stand with ICE and those who put themselves in harm’s way to
enforce our laws and keep our communities safe.
As a cosponsor of the Whole Milk for Healthy Kids Act, I’m thrilled that this
commonsense, science-based legislation has now passed both the House and the
Senate and is headed to President Trump’s desk to be signed into law. For more
than a decade, Washington’s one-size-fits-all nutrition rules took whole milk
off school menus, ignoring science and the simple reality that kids were
drinking less milk as a result. This law restores flexibility for schools to
offer whole and 2% milk—options students actually choose—so children get more
protein, calcium, and essential nutrients while reducing waste in cafeterias.
This is especially important for kids who rely on school meals as a primary
source of nutrition. It also strengthens rural America by supporting dairy
farmers who produce a wholesome, nutrient-dense product families trust. With
President Trump set to sign this bill, we’re delivering a real win for
children’s health, family farmers, and common sense.
The handling of Minnesota’s deer farming industry by Governor Tim Walz and
state Democrats is another example of heavy-handed regulation that punishes
lawful producers instead of pursuing balanced, workable solutions. Under
legislation he signed, family-owned deer farms are effectively being regulated
out of existence through expensive fencing mandates, license freezes, and
forced depopulation—even when herds are healthy. That’s why I worked with my
Minnesota Republican colleagues to bring this issue to the attention of
Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins, who rightfully called out Walz, saying
his approach phases out an entire agricultural sector by government fiat. While
protecting deer herds from chronic wasting disease is important, Walz chose
mandates so extreme they eliminate livelihoods rather than partnering with
farmers on science-based mitigation. In response, our deer farmers have taken
their case all the way to the U.S. Supreme Court, arguing that Minnesota’s
policy violates basic property rights and the freedom to pursue a lawful
occupation. When the government decides winners and losers by regulation alone,
things stop working. Minnesotans deserve policies that protect public health
and respect rural families and not an administration that regulates first and
answers questions later.
I’m proud to reintroduce the Supporting Pregnant and Parenting Women Act to
make sure women facing unplanned or difficult pregnancies get real support.
This bill allows states to use existing family assistance funds to support
pregnancy resource centers that provide prenatal care, parenting education,
counseling, and essentials like diapers and formula. These centers walk
alongside women through unplanned pregnancies and the early years of
motherhood, helping them build stable, healthy futures for their children. This
approach strengthens community-based organizations with a proven track record
of serving moms with compassion and dignity. The Biden administration tried to
block states from supporting this work, even though it saves taxpayer dollars
and improves outcomes for families. Being truly pro-life means supporting women
before and after birth. This legislation puts that belief into action.
As always, thank you for your continued trust and support. Don’t hesitate to
reach out if you have any questions or need assistance with anything.
With gratitude,
