I will remember his kind heart and how he always greeted anyone who entered our office with a cheerful smile.
We are grateful to Eric for his service to Kansas' 4th District and the country.
On that I demand the yeas and nays. The yeas and nays were ordered. The SPEAKER pro tempore. This is a 5-minute vote. The vote was taken by electronic device, and there were--yeas 424, nays 0, not voting 9, as follows: [Roll No. 99]…

Had I been present, I would have voted YEA on Roll Call No. 509. Stated against:
It is great for us in this hearing today to be able to talk about the committee's continuing effort to build a society and a culture that values life.
the antisemitic activities that have occurred on college campuses are absolutely appalling.
It is really unfathomable that anyone in the country would stand up and carry the flag of terror and hate openly onto a college campus.
Antisemitic activity has been a growing problem as foreign bad actors have been funneling money onto our non-profit colleges and universities.
Social Security's trust fund will be unable to pay full retirement benefits starting in 2033.
a lot of those folks are already experiencing cuts, thanks to the sky-high inflation that is 19.9 percent since January 2021.
It's always great to get out of the D.C. Beltway and into diverse communities across our great nation to hear directly from Americans who are helped or harmed by the policies that we write or vote on.
Since President Biden's been in office, the cost of inflation on a monthly basis has gone up over 19 percent.
Wages are down 3.9 percent in terms of net wages since the President's come into office.
It is really unfortunate, the amount of misinformation that is out there that is trying to mislead the American family and American families and the people across America about the effects of the TCJA.
As the House Ways and Means Tax Subcommittee, we should be firm in our commitment to putting the United States first, maintaining our tax sovereignty, and not giving in to global demand.
The JCT analysis confirms that Pillar 1, as currently negotiated by the Biden administration, does not accomplish the original goals set out when we began this exercise in 2018.
It is ridiculous that our current administration is willing to allow other countries to steal the intellectual property of American businesses.
Politicians like Ron Estes
