Children's Health Care Caucus

The caucus advances legislative initiatives that provide access to health coverage, ensure preventative care, seek cures for debilitating diseases and chronic conditions, and promote healthy living habits for America’s children.

Federal Budget

Our country is operating under significant economic stress and a contributing factor is the dire fiscal condition of federal and state governments.

Law Enforcement Caucus

We must also consider what our country stands to lose by failing to implement trade agreements while competitors like the European Union, Canada, and China race ahead to aggressively knock down trade barriers and increase their own market share.
