Dear John,
It’s been a whirlwind week, but I’m here to update you on the important battles I’m fighting in Washington and right here in Minnesota.
I congratulate Speaker Mike Johnson on his reelection! A God-fearing, America First leader, guided by Providence, he’s the captain we need at the helm. I’m excited to work alongside him and President Trump to secure our border, protect our communities, and restore fiscal responsibility and common sense to our federal government.
Even though we have a Speaker, we’re stuck with Biden for 16 more days. It’s an absolute disgrace that he awarded citizens’ medals to Rep. Liz Cheney and Rep. Bennie Thompson for their roles in the January 6th Select Committee. The purpose of this award is to recognize individuals who have demonstrated exceptional service to their country or fellow citizens. But these two individuals spearheaded a partisan witch hunt and dishonored the values of fairness and transparency. They didn’t seek the truth; they sought to divide us and bring down President Trump. Rest assured, I’ll continue standing against this radical rewriting of history and call out those who perpetuate it.
On a somber note, my heart goes out to the victims of the recent attack in New Orleans. This senseless violence is a stark reminder of how urgently we need to address the lawlessness across our nation. Whether it is homegrown Islamic terrorists, radicalized within, or our enemies sneaking across our borders, we must act. Four years of Democratic policies have left us exposed, but I am confident that my colleagues and I are ready to work with President Donald J. Trump to secure the borders, restore order, and ensure that law enforcement has the tools they need to protect our communities.
Closer to home, the new year brought new laws in Minnesota which directly impact our daily lives—from higher taxes to more intrusive regulations. Tim Walz and his liberal allies pushed through a law forcing all health plans to cover abortions and gender-affirming care, trampling on life and parental authority. To make matters worse, they’ve banned binary triggers, stripping away the rights of law-abiding gun owners. I may be a federal representative, but I will always be a voice against these far-left policies. I will continue to stand with the Constitution and conservative family values in everything I do in Congress.
As always, please contact my office if you have any questions about my record or my votes, or if there is anything we can help with. Thank you for your continued support!
