If President Biden is so eager to speak on the economy, then he should set a date to discuss a responsible debt ceiling increase.
We must finally address Washington’s irresponsible government spending if we want to put America on a better fiscal path.

Adam Schiff lied.
- about Russian collusion
- about Hunter Biden's laptop
- about knowing a whistleblower
Eric Swalwell had a relationship with a Chinese spy.
They are disqualified from serving on the House Intelligence Committee.

All I'm asking for is a responsible debt limit increase.
That means the President and I should find common ground and eliminate where the government is wasting money.
Let's put our country on a path to balance our budget—just like every state, city, and family in America.

For 3 years, Democrats closed Congress to the public. That ended the first day of the Republican majority.
The Members on the Committee will work to keep the Capitol open & accessible to the people, as well as protect our nation’s elections through proper oversight.

I sent their team 6 pages of background info which laid out 's extensive history of legislative actions and wins on water. It was, unsurprisingly, largely ignored.
Instead, they cherry-picked info to fit their pre-set agenda.

Under Dem control, House committees were used to target political opponents and reward allies at the expense of addressing the country's concerns.
That ends now.
These Republican members will work to shift power back to the American people through their respective committees.
