One Big Beautiful Bill Act: Putting Hardworking Americans First

I’m proud to serve as Vice Chair of the BIOTech Caucus, where I’ll work across the aisle to promote policies that drive innovation, expand research, and create high-quality American jobs.

Texas Insider Report WASHINGTON, D.C.– I voted YES to prevent the largest tax increase in American history. I am pleased to see this important legislation moving forward with Senate revisions that maintain the priorities of preventing a return to the Obama-era policies of higher taxes and excessive government spending, while protecting American taxpayers. Additionally, this legislation secures critical reimbursement to Texas for Operation Lone Star and extends the Pandemic Response Accountability Committee, which is tasked with rooting out waste, fraud, and abuse in federal programs. This is a major step toward protecting taxpayer dollars, securing our border, and putting hardworking Americans first.

GATX Tour
On Monday, I had the opportunity to tour the GATX facility in Hearne, building on our recent conversation in Washington. GATX plays a vital role in our region by providing high-quality, skilled careers and contributing to the strength of our local economy. TX-17 is proud to have one of the most capable technical workforces in the nation, supported by our outstanding colleges and training programs. It was impressive to see the railcars in production and witness firsthand how companies like GATX are keeping American industry competitive on the global stage.
