By selling millions of barrels of petroleum from our strategic reserve, the Biden Administration has helped China build the world’s largest crude oil reserve and jeopardized our national security. I support H.R. 22 to stop the sale of oil to China.

Democrats can’t even vote for legislation that requires standard of care medical treatment for a child that survives an abortion or attempted abortion. By their vote they are condoning allowing a child to perish that is alive outside the womb by denying medical treatment. Murder?

The only person who can get the votes to become speaker is Kevin McCarthy. Period. The longer it takes to elect a speaker the longer it is until we can get to work on behalf of the people who gave us the majority.

Every hour the House fails to elect @GOPLeader as Speaker is time Congress cannot work to:
- Secure our southern Border

For the past 4 years, @GOPLeader has led our conference with commonsense conservative policies that put America first and reinforce House Republicans’ Commitment to America. As Speaker, I believe he will continue to deliver results.

Fentanyl is now the leading cause of death for Americans aged 18-49. Given this urgent threat to our nation’s security, Congress must act to pass the HALT Fentanyl Act and give law enforcement permanent authorities to help get fentanyl off the streets.
