Democrats are choosing teachers unions and special interests over the well-being of our students.
The CDC says schools can safely re-open if proper precautions are taken.
What are we waiting for?
The @USCBO: $15 minimum wage is projected to cost 1.3 million Americans their jobs.
Doubling the minimum wage sounds nice on the surface, but in the end, it will destroy small businesses and hurt working families across our country.

Today, the House will vote on H.R. 447, a job destroying approach to #apprenticeships that closes potential pathways to rewarding careers.
But don't just take our word for it. Affected stakeholders have weighed in. FYI, it's not pretty ๐

Happy #NationalSigningDay to the hundreds of student-athletes across the 6th District!

Congratulations! ๐

Our nation's students need schools to #SafelyReopen.
It's time to get students back in the classroom, back with their peers, and back on track! ๐๐
The courage and patriotism Officer Brian Sicknick displayed during the attacks on our Capitol will never be forgotten.
ย
Today, our nation pays tribute to Officer Sicknick as he lies in honor in the Capitol Rotunda.

Join me in praying for his family, friends, and loved ones.

Last week, GOP congress members introduced a flood of pro-life legislation.

The United States must prioritize emerging technologies to counter Communist China's goal of tech authoritarianism.
I joined my colleagues, led by @RepStefanik, to urge the Biden Admin to continue working together with our allies to keep critical tech out of the #CCP's reach.
Itโs crucial that Republicans hold Democrats accountable when needed and work with them when a compromise is in reach.
But many Americans are asking the same question: ๐๐ฌ ๐ฎ๐ง๐ข๐ญ๐ฒ ๐ซ๐๐๐ฅ๐ฅ๐ฒ ๐ฉ๐จ๐ฌ๐ฌ๐ข๐๐ฅ๐?

As Human Trafficking Awareness Month comes to an end, it's vital that we continue raising awareness for this form of modern-day slavery.

President Biden's first week in office:
ย
โ Rejoined the flawed Paris Climate Accord
โ Banned new oil & gas leasing on federal land
โ Promoted a $15 minimum wage
โ Revoked the Keystone XL Pipeline Permit
ย
What do these policies have in common? They hurt hard-working Texans.
In honor of the tens of thousands of pro-life Americans that are coming together today to celebrate life, I am proud to reintroduce the Teleabortion Prevention Act and the Child Custody Protection Act. #WhyWeMarch

I'm glad my district staff was able to attend this event & I look forward to working with Chief Jones to ensure the safety and security of our community. Welcome to North TX!

We need to be working towards a pro-growth agenda that puts small business owners back in the driver's seat of our economy.
Instead, the Biden Administration wants to double the minimum wage making it even harder for small businesses to stay afloat during the pandemic.
Today is Sexual Assault Survivors Day in Texas - a chance to raise awareness, empower survivors across our state, and work to bring perpetrators to justice.

I am proud to continue serving on @HouseForeignGOP under the leadership of my fellow Texan @RepMcCaul.
I look forward to working with my colleagues, old and new, to promote freedom & democracy around the globe while holding authoritarian regimes accountable.
It's been a week since President Biden revoked the #KeystoneXL Pipeline Permit & already hundreds of hard-working Americans have been laid off with thousands more to come.
This is not the policy agenda American families are counting on to help get our economy back on track.
Today on #HolocaustRemembranceDay, we celebrate the liberation of Auschwitz & honor the millions of innocent Jews that were killed during the Holocaust.
It's also a chance to reaffirm our strong commitment to combatting antisemitism and bigotry around the world. #NeverAgain
