Congress At Work

In the first seven months of the 114th Congress, the House of Representatives has been hard at work to bring real, effective solutions to the issues facing our nation. From national security to healthcare, the House has passed 190 solutions-focused bills to ensure a more effective, sustainable, and transparent government for Americans today and generations to come.

Take a look at some of this year's highlights:

Growing the Economy

Our economy grows from the bottom up, when you are empowered to make decisions without government interference.

The House has passed a number of bills to remove the burden of government from your daily life:

Permanent Internet Tax Freedom Act (H.R. 235) - Prevents state and local governments from ever taxing your Internet access.

REINS Act (H.R. 427) - Requires Congress to approve all new major regulations from the executive branch.

ObamaCare Repeal (H.R. 596) - Repeals ObamaCare in full to keep the government out of your health care decisions.

Keeping America Safe

We live in a dangerous world. New threats are constantly emerging; I see it firsthand on the House Intelligence Committee.

This year, the House has passed critical national security legislation to ensure the safety of all Americans:

Iran Nuclear Review Act (S. 615) - Gives Congress the power to review and accept/deny the Iran Nuclear Agreement. I oppose the Iran deal and plan to vote in disapproval.

National Cybersecurity Protection Advancement Act (H.R. 1731) - Strengthens our cyber network protections to prevent digital attacks.

USA FREEDOM Act (H.R. 2048) - Limits and restricts NSA authorizations, balancing the need for enhanced security with your constitutional rights.

Defending Our Values

We must continue to stand for our core American values in the 21st Century. From serving our veterans, to protecting the unborn, to helping seniors, the House of Representatives is committed to defending what we hold dear.

Here are the few of the bills we've passed this year to uphold that commitment:

No Taxpayer Funded Abortions (H.R. 7) - Prohibits federal funding for abortions, or health plans that include coverage of abortion.

Seniors' Health Care Plan Protection Act (H.R. 2582) - Prevents the Obama Administration from terminating popular Medicare Advantage plans.

Clay Hunt Suicide Prevention for American Veterans Act (H.R. 203) - Improves veterans' access to quality mental health care services at the VA.

Holding Government Accountable

Ours is a government "of the people, by the people, and for the people." The American people deserve a government that is transparent, accountable, and responsive to taxpayers.

The House has passed a number of measures to keep government in check:

Enforce the Law for Sanctuary Cities Act (H.R. 3009) - Makes "sanctuary cities," like San Francisco and Chicago, ineligible for certain federal funding.

Taxpayer Bill of Rights Act (H.R. 1058) - Requires the IRS to ensure that all employees are familiar with and respect taxpayer rights.

TSA Office of Inspection Accountability Act (H.R. 719) - Reforms certain TSA procedures so that taxpayer dollars are spent more wisely and efficiently.
