    Today I reintroduced the EL CHAPO Act. The bill would reserve any amounts forfeited to the US gov as a result of criminal prosecution of “El Chapo” & other drug lords for border security assets and the completion of the wall along the US-Mexico border. -->

    For too long, members of Congress have abused their power and ignored the will of the American people. Term limits on members of Congress offer a solution to the brokenness we see in Washington, D.C. It is long past time for Congress to hold itself accountable.
