Putting America First by Governing Responsibly

"I voted to fund the government and give House Republicans the time we need to enact President Trump's full agenda — because that’s what the American people elected us to do."

Texas Insider Report: AUSTIN, Texas – Last week, I voted to fund the government and give House Republicans the time we need to enact President Trump's full agenda — because that’s what the American people elected us to do.

While Republicans are working to govern responsibly, Democrats are playing political games. In December, not a single House Democrat voted NO on the funding bill (CR). But this week, all but one voted against it. Why? Because they would rather risk shutting down the government in protest than allow Republicans to continue delivering results for hardworking Americans.

This year's bill reduces discretionary spending, ensuring we spend less while still making key investments in our nation’s future. It provides a well-earned 14% pay increase for our junior enlisted troops, recognizing their dedication to defending our freedoms. Additionally, while Democrats turn a blind eye to the border crisis, we’ve secured an extra $485 million for ICE to remove illegal aliens and enforce the law.

House Republicans remain committed to a secure border, a strong military, and a government that works for the American people — not against them. We won’t let partisan obstruction stand in the way of putting America first.
