Press Release
Natural disasters are unpredictable. Congress failing to wisely prepare for them is not. For too long, Washington has governed by crisis and spurned it’s responsibility to adequately care for those in need, opting instead to saddle our children and grandchildren with an impossible debt. We should help Americans facing emergencies by appropriating funds within the budget before disaster strikes.

Press Release
We can help our neighbors and serve the Americans impacted by natural disasters by prioritizing our families before foreign interests. I am dedicated to helping North Carolinians in need of emergency assistance, but doing it in a way that doesn’t mean governing by crisis. Congress should take this opportunity to put America first and lead responsibly.

This solution recognizes our dire fiscal health by reducing foreign aid and putting America and American recovery efforts first. As the President has said on multiple occasions, we must prioritize our domestic needs first and put American citizens at the front of the line, especially since they foot the bill.

This flippant approach to a national crisis will do little to nothing to stop illegal immigration or human and drug trafficking. We can be the Congress that finally solves this problem, but it will take real action. Specifically, congressional action.

Saying you will fund the government for a full year – except for the Department of Homeland Security – is like buying a house and removing the front door.

Press Release
Now, each of the House Democrats who kowtowed, elevating Pelosi to Speaker-assumed will have to tell their constituents why they just voted to shutdown the government and prioritize leaving our borders open to gangs, terrorists, and drug and human traffickers over protecting American families.

Press Release
Rescissions aren’t merely a Republican political maneuver against Democrats. President Clinton used the process 166 times to save more than $3.5 billion. While effective, the most recent package sent by President Trump is especially innocuous, politically speaking, clawing back unneeded, unspent funds, some of which were appropriated as far back as 1993.
