As we mark the 100th Day of the 118th Congress this week, House Republicans have produced results in fulfilling our Commitment to America and getting our Nation back on track. Unfortunately, inflation keeps persisting as we continue to suffer the consequences of Biden and Democrats’ out-of-control spending. Additionally, I joined my colleagues in demanding answers from the DoD as to why religious clergy were shut out from performing spiritual guidance to wounded soldiers and personnel at Walter Reed. We also celebrated the 75th birthday of the founding of the U.S. Air Force Reserve. As the fight in Washington continues, I’ll continue to bring the concerns of Virginia’s Sixth District to the hearing rooms and negotiating tables.
100 Days of
Victories in the
People’s House of Representatives
The country is in crisis under the Biden Administration. Last November, the American people voted for a Republican-led House Majority to reverse course and get our country back on track. We have delivered. In just the first 100 days, House Republicans have voted to:
Pass the Parents Bill of Rights
Repeal funding for Biden’s IRS army
End proxy voting, forcing Members of Congress to show up for work
Protect taxpayers & farmers
Unleash American energy
Conduct oversight to hold the government accountable
And much more. As the 118th Congress
continues, we will keep fighting to
restore the core
principles that make our country great.
The High Price of Reckless Spending and Continued
Inflation
This week was another sad reminder that the trillions of dollars in deficit-spending by the Biden Administration and Democrats are still slashing the paychecks of hardworking Americans, as the latest report showed prices are up 5% from last year:
Eggs UP 36.0%
Electricity UP 10.2%
Bread UP 15.2%
Airline fares UP 17.7%
There is a silver lining: House Republicans are putting forth a balanced budget and including spending cuts along with a debt ceiling increase.
Defending the
Freedom of Our Service members to Practice Their Faith
Pastoral care has played a vital role in America’s history by providing spiritual guidance, hope, and comfort to armed service members, on the battlefield, on bases, and in military hospitals. Yet during last Holy Week, troubling news was uncovered that Walter Reed National Military Medical Center sent a “cease and desist” letter to Holy Name College Friary — a group of Catholic priests who have served at the hospital for over 20 years — ordering them to stop providing pastoral care at their facility. Rest assured, I am working to remedy this egregious attack on Christian servicemembers and ensure this unconstitutional abuse of power never happens again to our men and women in uniform.
