Issues
As Chairman of the House Committee on Small Business, I am fighting each day to lower taxes and cut the burdensome regulations that hurt small businesses and stifle economic growth. I am committed to ensuring our nation's job creators have the tools and freedom they need to succeed.
I have been an ardent advocate for expanding funding for the military and will continue working to deliver the resources needed for our servicemen and women to remain the greatest fighting force in the world.
Thousands of our nation's veterans choose to call Texas home, and I am proud to represent these heroes in Congress. I will always fight for the top-notch healthcare, compensation, and benefits they deserve. If you are a veteran in need of assistance, my team is here to serve you.
America does not have a revenue problem - we have a spending problem. I am committed to fighting for responsible spending cuts so that hardworking families never have to choose between keeping the lights on or putting food on the table. We must protect Main Street and put America first.
The bottom line is that you know how to spend your money better than the government does. I will always fight for hardworking families and workers to have certainty for the future and to put more money back into your pockets.
I will forever be a champion for the Second Amendment – the right of law-abiding citizens to bear arms is Constitutional liberty that we must protect. That's why I proudly oppose all government regulations that infringe upon your rights and oppose universal background checks, buy backs, assault weapons bans, and red flag laws.
Ensuring that America can produce enough energy for our own consumption needs is vital to our national security. I will continue supporting domestic oil and gas producers, as well as an all above energy approach, so that we do not depend on foreign countries for our energy.
For too long, Democrats' failed border policies facilitated a historic invasion on American soil, devastating communities across the country. Today, law and order is back in America. Under Republican leadership, national security is a top priority, and law enforcement is empowered to do their jobs. As your Representative in Congress, I am committed to delivering on the people's mandate to make America safe again.
Our health care system is broken – but more Washington overreach and red tape is never the answer. Americans are suffering with the high costs of care and prescription drugs. We need to work toward a health care system that gives patients and families more choices with lower costs. It's time to get the government out of health care.
Life is a precious gift that begins at conception. During my time in Congress, I've worked to protect the most vulnerable among us, voting at every opportunity to defund Planned Parenthood and prevent federal funds from being used in the barbaric act of abortion.
