U.S. Secretary of Homeland Security in the Trump administration; formerly Governor of South Dakota (2019–2025).
It seems like every time they take a position, soybeans drops 40 cents a bushel, and we can't hardly pay our bills today.
I thank the chairman for yielding. Mr. Speaker, today, I rise in support of S. 140. I strongly support this bill, but I want to speak today about one particular piece of it--the Tribal Labor Sovereignty Act--which I helped introduce, along…
I thank the chairman for yielding. Mr. Speaker, today I rise in support of H.R. 1, the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017. We have worked hours--literally hundreds of hours--on this legislation, and I commend Chairman Brady and the staff of the…
I thank the gentleman for yielding. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize the 76th celebration of National Bible Week. As I reflected on what I would share with everyone tonight, I couldn't get away from my background and my family…
And I would like to reiterate that all of our recent conversations with the administration, with all the members on this committee, with the U.S. Trade Representative, indicate that we are modernizing NAFTA, that we are not eliminating…
We need to pay attention that we don't get shut out of those markets by regulatory actions that may happen from those foreign governments.

You can't hardly turn on the TV today or open a newspaper, scroll through your news feed without learning of another outbreak of violence around the globe. Especially in a world as volatile and insecure as ours is today, we have a…
I want to get this right. I have already reached out to HHS and IHS to obtain technical assistance for this bill.
This is something that I have heard over and over, dozens and dozens of times through the years, that IHS has ignored many of the protocols.
I do want to point out that we have increased funding for Indian health services over many, many years.
Today I can report to you that some progress has been made, but it's not enough, and it's not happening fast enough.
We have tried to work with IHS in the past, and that has failed, and that is why we are pushing to have these reforms put in place.
H.R. 2662 addresses several long-standing issues with the Indian Health Service (IHS) and would benefit the Colville Tribes and other tribes in many ways.
We need to get help to these people that are relying on this agency for health care, and they are failing them dramatically.
I told you that the state of Indian health care in South Dakota had fallen to emergency levels.
