The Bill of Rights is a profound document that protects our individual liberties from an overreaching government. It consists of the first Ten Amendments to the U.S. Constitution. Today, we celebrate the brilliance and foresight of our Founding Fathers to explicitly protect our right to free speech, bear arms, trial by jury, and many more.

Yesterday the House passed the the 2018 Farm Bill, after tough negotiations between the House and the Senate. This bipartisan bill brings critical aid to farmers and ranchers across #TX31!
✅ Restores vital tools for trade promotion and market development!
✅ Streamlines and reduces regulatory burdens by cutting red tape!
...✅ Establishes National Animal Disease Preparedness and Response Program, protecting our livestock sector!
✅ Creates the Commission on Farm Transitions -- Needs for 2050 to ensure continued safety and growth of our agricultural industry!
Congratulations to my friend, General Mark Milley, on being nominated to be the next chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. General Milley has served our nation honorably (including at TX-31's Fort Hood). He is a true patriot and phenomenal leader.
