Ron Estes

I am glad to have Congressman Ron Estes, a distinguished Member of the Ways and Means Committee, joining us today...

The bill is the right and fair approach to ensure unemployed Americans have full access to the assistance they need and, when done correctly, encourages those individuals to get back into the workforce. Tackling waste, fraud, and abuse in…

I was not present for the following rollcall votes. Had I been present for: Rollcall vote No. 195 on Ordering the Previous Question, I would have voted ``yea''; Rollcall vote No. 196 on Agreeing to the Resolution, I would have voted…

When it comes to China there is a lot of bipartisan support for holding the Chinese Communist Party accountable...

Aviation noise is not merely a nuisance. It substantially diminishes the quality of life of so many of my constituents.

This commonsense amendment restores the Strategic Petroleum Reserve to protect our Nation's security. Mr. Chairman, I urge my colleagues to vote in favor of this commonsense amendment, as well as the underlying bill, and I yield back the…

We were energy independent. That is not just with regard to energy prices, it is with regard to agricultural.

One of the statistics maybe I think is more important than rates itself is what are the actual tax revenues that the Federal Government collects.

when I combed through the President's budget that adds $17 trillion to the deficit over the next ten years, I see much of the failed policies that have caused record inflation over the last two years, and it is hurting Kansas families.

6.5 percent inflation is not something to celebrate.

the Biden administration and some of my colleagues have tried to paint a rosy picture about the economy, but that is not what people are saying in Kansas.

inflation is up 14 percent since President Biden took office.
