Marijuana is not yet legal in Kentucky, but marijuana's friendly cousin hemp is, an industry very important to our economy.
Ranking Member Comer has championed the Federal effort to provide regulatory clarity to the U.S. hemp industry.
This is a commonsense bill aimed at hiring applicants for Federal positions based on whether they have the relevant skills to do the job. The American people deserve nothing less from their Federal Government. Mr. Speaker, I encourage my…
Let me be clear. Not a single dime of taxpayer money should ever flow to anyone engaged in human or sex trafficking activities. This bill is an important step toward ensuring responsible stewardship of taxpayer money. Mr. Speaker, I…
It is important that Federal agencies plan and prepare for future infectious disease outbreaks and do so in a transparent manner. This bill is much improved and now also focuses on maintaining Federal agency services to the American people…

As elected representatives in Congress, it is our responsibility to work to ensure the law is enforced to reduce violent crime.
Gun manufacturers do not cause violent crime. Criminals cause violent crime.
Banning guns from law-abiding citizens is simply not the answer. Republicans will never turn our back on the Second Amendment.
Democrats and President Biden continue to blame American companies for various national crises that their policies have made worse.
That is why I will continue to protect the rights of all law-abiding gun owners who safely use, store, and carry firearms, including the AR-15, which is the most popular rifle in the United States.
Democrats have no problem with subpoenaing oil companies and private citizens.
It is time that we hear directly from the people in the administration making policy decisions impacting the lives of all Americans.
Let us hold the Biden administration to the same standard that you hold private companies. Show up or get a subpoena.
