Russia's ongoing assault on our democracy and democracies around the globe cannot go unanswered. It has been a month since Russian sanctions passed the Senate 97-2, yet House Republican leaders continue to stall on bringing that worthy…
As NAFTA renegotiation approaches, I rise to call attention to the mammoth U.S. trade deficit with our NAFTA nation partners. Our current deficit with NAFTA nations is $74 billion. This red on the chart translates into tens of thousands of…

I have a bill to recreate the Civilian Conservation Corp to help the whole country, including our area.
