I Voted to Fully Fund Veteran's Benefits

As a member of the Appropriations Committee, I promised Kansans I would NOT support cutting funding for veterans programs.

I proudly voted to fully fund veterans' benefits, including veterans' health care, the PACT Act, and other crucial VA programs.

Votes this week

Thursday we had our second House Appropriations markup, where I proudly voted to advance the Agriculture, Rural Development, and FDA bill for FY24.

This legislation supports our rural communities, strengthens our national security and food supply, and reins in wasteful Washington spending.

Communist China currently owns over 380,000 acres of American farmland— some near our most critical military installations.

This week I voted for an amendment in the House Appropriations Committee markup that would BLOCK our adversaries from purchasing American farmland and protect our national security.

Unelected bureaucrats in Washington have way too much power over our way of life in America.

I proudly voted to pass the REINS Act this week to stop executive overreach and prevent the administrative state from recklessly spending our taxpayer dollars.

This week I voted to overturn President Biden's unconstitutional rule that would criminalize the use of pistol-stabilizing braces— a tool many disabled veterans rely on.

I will always fight to protect and defend the Second Amendment rights of law-abiding gun owners across our state.
