Today we proudly certified the Presidential election for Donald Trump! President Trump has been given a mandate from the American people and we are ready to work with him and fight for you.
Last week, I was sworn-in to the 119th Congress as your Representative for Missouri’s 2nd Congressional District. I am ready to hit the ground running and work with President Trump and his Administration on important issues like keeping your taxes low, creating good-paying jobs, and securing our border and protecting our national security from international threats like Russia, China, Iran, and North Korea. Our world is in a dangerous place right now and it is imperative Congress and President Trump advance our shared commitment to a peace through strength agenda that will keep America strong and safe, while showing our adversaries we will not stand idly by while they spread their dangerous, dictatorial tendencies.
Our Republican majority elected Speaker Mike Johnson to continue leading our Conference. The Speaker is a strong conservative and a man of faith whom I greatly trust to ensure we pass good, commonsense legislation that will help Missourians each and every day. He is the man for the moment in our slim majority, and it is crucial we stand behind him as a united front.
The attack in New Orleans was a brutal act of terror against our nation. I am praying for all those who tragically lost their lives and for their loved ones who are mourning their memories. Thank you to the brave law enforcement who put their lives at risk to take out this terrorist before he could murder any more innocents. This terrorist attack is yet another reminder we must give President Trump and incoming FBI Director Kash Patel the support they need to keep our nation safe from those who hate our very way of life.
I am proud that one of the first things the 119th Congress did was prioritize consideration of my legislation to protect the lives of innocent children. It’s about to be a new day in Washington with a Presidential Administration who will make it their mission to restore respect for the dignity of all life. Newborn infants, who are among the most vulnerable Americans, need us to defend their lives and safety, and we in Congress will be strong partners in providing essential protections for infants who cannot fight for themselves. This cannot and should not be a complicated issue. Every child deserves a chance to live and thrive. If babies survive an abortion, doctors must treat them like they would any other patient and provide lifesaving medical care to make sure they can grow up to have fulfilling lives like any other. It’s time innocent children are treated like the blessings they are. Read more about my Born Alive Abortion Survivors Protection Act here.
