Today marks 100 days of the new House Republican Majority and we are only just getting started. The 118th Congress has made a point to deliver on our Commitment to America, a nation that is safe, an economy that is strong, a future that is built on freedom, and a government that is accountable.
Last Thursday, the White House released a long awaited 12-page report on the 2021 Afghanistan withdrawal. The after-action review places significant blame on former President Trump and claims that President Biden was “severely constrained” by the conditions created by his predecessor.
Washington, D.C. -Today the U.S. House of Representatives in bipartisan fashion passed H.R. 1, the Lower Energy Costs Act. Congresswoman Bice issued the following statement:
Last week, President Biden issued his budget for Fiscal Year 2024. His budget doubles down on his failed economic policies that have devastated hardworking Americans. During the last Congress, instead of implementing policies to combat record-high inflation, Democrats spent trillions of taxpayer dollars, which increased costs for daily necessities and ballooned our national debt. The CBO’s most recent outlook shows current policies will add more than $20 trillion to our national debt over the next decade.
Washington, DC – Today, Congresswoman Stephanie Bice (OK-05) reintroduced the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) Weather Radio Modernization Act, which directs NOAA to replace the outdated technology currently in use throughout its weather radio system.

Washington, D.C. - Congresswoman Stephanie Bice (R-OK) introduced the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) Mineral Spacing Act this week. The bill would streamline and improve the permitting process for energy development, remove duplicative regulations, and better respect the rights of private mineral holders. A companion bill was reintroduced in the Senate by Senator John Hoeven (R-N.D.).
It’s been heartbreaking to witness the devastating situation in East Palestine, Ohio and the surrounding communities. Not only has the train derailment of toxic waste caused an environmental catastrophe, killing animals and destroying infrastructure, but the effects on residents’ long-term health is deeply concerning. This disaster has not received the attention and response it deserves, especially from the Biden Administration. Sadly, it’s the people of Ohio who are facing the consequences of the President’s inaction.
