Dear Friends,

I hope you all had a fantastic Fourth of July! This year’s holiday was particularly special for me, as it was my first Independence Day serving in the U.S. Congress. I feel so honored to be representing the great state of Utah and particularly the second congressional district. After experiencing Congress for the past six months, I have come to the realization that our nation does indeed face difficult times. Yet, I remain hopeful that through adhering to the principles that have made our nation great, we can and will fix the problems facing our country.

As I have informed my staff, I believe that we can save our nation by following four simple guidelines.

To save the nation, we need to:

1)      Reduce the Size and Influence of the Federal Government

2)      Increase Personal Freedoms

3)      Reduce National Debt and Decrease Spending, and

4)      Secure our Freedom as a Nation

I am committed to adhering to these principles. I am frequently asked what I have done in Congress. Since taking office in January, I have sponsored or co-sponsored a total of 89 bills. Click here to see the full list.  You can also view many of my House floor speeches and interviews where I discuss the work of Congress on my youtube channel.

This week the House is expected to vote and debate on the following legislation. Visit the House Majority Leader’s website for the most up-to-date information.
