Addressing inflation, securing our border, restoring American energy independence, passing a Farm Bill and widening I-81 remain at the top of mind for my constituents, and I am eager to continue advocating for their interests in the 119th Congress in cooperation with a Republican Senate and Republican administration in the White House.
