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.

Now more than ever, I am committed to supporting our troops and keeping our country safe and secure. One of the most important bills that Congress passes annually, the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA), will be voted on by House Members this week. As our military faces unprecedented challenges, and America is experiencing countless national security crises, this bill is crucial in protecting our nation and supporting those who risk their lives to keep us safe.

Our country will never be the same. Our lives as we knew them ended while we watched terrorists attack innocent civilians in our beloved nation on September 11, 2001. As I reflect on the past two decades, I recognize all that our country lost and sacrificed on that fateful day, and in the days that followed, how we unified to preserve our American values of strength and freedom that terrorists sought to destroy.

National security, defense, and supporting our military are top priorities of mine, which is why it is an honor to serve on the House Armed Services Committee. Each year, the committee is responsible for crafting legislation that makes changes to the policies of United States defense agencies and provides guidelines for military funding for the next fiscal year, known as the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA).
