Our country is at a turning point. Inflation continues to drive up prices across the nation, our border crisis is as severe as it has ever been, and our closest ally, Israel, is at war. We have a President who keeps putting America last, a Senate that puts Ukraine first, and a House with no leader. Despite the numerous obstacles we face, I remain confident that we will overcome them and ultimately deliver the results that you, the American people, deserve. It all begins with ensuring that we have a patriotic Speaker of the House who will put America first and put our country back on track.

While many Members of Congress were on break for six weeks, I certainly was not. I spent that time working hard traveling Colorado’s Third Congressional District and meeting with the great people I am honored to represent.
