Small businesses are the backbone of our communities. They’re where innovation begins, where neighbors support neighbors, and where the American Dream lives. But too often, red tape, bureaucratic inefficiencies, and unfair competition get in the way of their success. That’s why I was proud to support 10 bills on the floor of the House of Representatives this week—each one focused on empowering small business owners, cutting through federal red tape, and leveling the playing field.
When an American signs the dotted line to join the military, they do so with the understanding that Washington will keep its promises. One of those promises is the G.I. Bill – a commitment to help service members and their families pursue educational opportunities.
The people of mid-Michigan sent me to Congress to do the hard work necessary to lower the cost of living, secure our border, and unleash American energy. Unfortunately, while I’ve been working hard to deliver on those promises, Democrats have been trying to scare people into believing the sky is falling when it comes to H.R. 1, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, that we are working on in Congress.

The United States of America is the greatest country in the world because we are never afraid to lead by example. This week, the House proved that point by coming together and passing 9 bipartisan bills that send a clear message: America will not turn a blind eye to authoritarian aggression, forced labor, or human rights abuses around the world.
The men and women who put on the uniform to defend our freedom earned the best health care our country has to offer. It’s critical that we do everything we can to roll out the red carpet for our veterans and ensure they have access to the care they need, no matter where they live.
Washington bureaucrats should not be making decisions that limit our freedoms, hurt our economy, and make life more expensive. That’s why I was proud to vote yes on several important measures this week to roll back extreme federal overreach and protect the livelihoods of American families, farmers, small businesses, and rural communities.
These votes were about restoring balance, protecting choice, and standing up for common sense. Here’s a quick look at the legislation we passed:
