Washington, D.C. – Continuing his efforts to keep the lines of communication open with constituents, Rep.

“It’s unacceptable for anyone in Washington to gain investment advice, or information to their benefit, on insider information.”

“Members of Congress should be held to the same standard as the people we represent, if not higher. That’s why I’m a co-sponsor of the STOCK Act.”

“Washington has a tendency to go from budget crisis, to budget crisis. That’s one of the reasons the House has passed a budget that addresses spending issues and pays down the national debt.”
