“there is no greater joy than being a father. I am blessed with six incredible children, 17 grandkids, and they are the heartbeat of everything I do. This Father's Day, I am proud to reintroduce a resolution to recognize the power and necessity of fathers shaping strong families and stronger communities. The data is clear: Kids with engaged fathers do better in school, avoid crime, and thrive economically and emotionally. But this isn't about data. It is about dignity. When fathers are empowered to lead, love, protect, and mentor their children, entire communities are transformed. I am grateful to my friend Jack Brewer and The Jack Brewer Foundation for their tireless work in restoring fathers to the center of the family, especially in our most underserved communities. This resolution is a call to action: to support policies that strengthen families, encourage responsibility, and promote a culture that values dads. Let's celebrate fatherhood, the survival of our American culture depends on it.”
