I was honored to be appointed earlier this year to serve on the Select Committee on Economic Disparity and Fairness in Growth, where my colleagues and I will dive deep into issues related to economic fairness, access to education, and workforce development. This committee is similar to the mission of the Temporary National Economic Committee, which was founded by President Roosevelt after the Great Depression to address the distribution of wealth that played a role in triggering the economic collapse in 1929.

The Biden administration is searching for ways to pay for their partisan $3.5 trillion social policy bill, and one of the Democrats’ proposed solutions is to spy on taxpayers’ bank accounts. This would require financial institutions and service providers to report data on accounts to the Internal Revenue Service to help ensure that Americans are paying their “fair share” in taxes. Democrats claim that this would mostly impact wealthy Americans and businesses, but in reality, this targets virtually all working-class people in our nation.

After many weeks of partisan debate, legislation to increase the debt ceiling passed the Senate last week, resulting in House members being called back to Washington to vote on this renegotiated bill. I voted against the first version of the debt ceiling increase, and I will again be voting no because I firmly oppose this administration’s reckless, virtually unlimited, spending.

The American people are witnessing the devastating effects of President Biden’s open border policy, by not only creating chaos at the US Mexico border, but in the entire country. With heightened terror threats from Afghanistan, the continuous spread of Covid-19, and the recent humanitarian crisis of Haitian migrants, securing and regulating our border is absolutely crucial in keeping our country controlled, functioning, and most importantly, safe from external threats.

As a fiscal conservative, I support low taxes, minimal government debt, and reduced government spending, which is why I am against the Democrats’ $1.2 trillion infrastructure package. This week, House Democrats are attempting to bulldoze through the largest spending and tax increase legislation in our country’s history. The infrastructure bill is directly linked with the outrageous $3.4 trillion tax and spend budget reconciliation bill, a $5.5 trillion package that will further skyrocket inflation, increase taxes, and compromise competition in American business.
