Demanding Answers on Baby Formula Crisis

While the baby formula shortage no longer draws as many headlines, parents are still suffering as a third of American families still struggle to find baby formula according to recent Census Bureau stats. It is unacceptable. Parents deserve both solutions and answers. Months ago, the Energy and Commerce Committee unanimously advanced my resolution calling for the Biden administration to release documents related to the recall of infant formula and potential impacts on the infant formula supply chain. I took to the House floor to call on Democrat leadership to stop blocking a vote on this bipartisan resolution.

Inflation Ticks Up Again

Inflation continues to rage as Americans enter another expensive holiday season. November's Consumer Price Index (CPI) showed another uptick in inflation. Families and small businesses across our country are struggling. House Republicans have solutions to fight inflation, lower the cost of living, and strengthen our supply chains, ending our dependence on China.

Fighting Against Reckless Spending

After the midterm elections, Republicans are poised to take control of the House in 2023. With the clock ticking, House Democrats are trying to push through another bloated omnibus package. Democrat leadership has kept Republicans in the dark every step of the way. I will continue to fight to rein in reckless spending and return fiscal responsibility to the halls of Congress.

Bombshell COVID Report

This week, Republicans on the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence released a report showing there may have been a link between COVID-19 and China's bioweapons research program. The report found the Intelligence Community (IC) withheld key information from its declassified assessment of COVID-19's origins. Furthermore, the report found the IC downplayed possible links between COVID-19 and China's bioweapons.

Recognized as Pioneer for Prosperity

On Tuesday, I was presented with a Pioneer for Prosperity award by Americans for Prosperity. I'm fighting for freedom and commonsense conservative policies in Washington and proudly have been rated as Michigan's most conservative congressperson. 

Improving Safety for Motorcyclists 

Three accidents occurred this year with cars in “self-driving” or autonomous mode resulting in fatal accidents with motorcyclists. This week, I led a bipartisan letter to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) highlighting basic questions the biker community has regarding these accidents and new technology. As innovation transforms our transportation, we must ensure high levels of safety for everyone on the road. As the Co-Chair of the Congressional Motorcycle Caucus, I am proud to have had dozens of members join me on this effort to make our roads safer. To read our letter, please click here
