Far More Questions Than Answers

In the week since the second assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump, we still have far more questions than answers about both events.Two attempts in a little over 60 days is horrendous and unacceptable.

There's just basic information we should have right now, and we don't have it. Regarding the July 13 assassination attempt against President Trump, the Secret Service and FBI fail to provide unredacted documents and they are slow-walking witnesses to Congress. Subpoenas must be issued to compel compliance.

The Secret Service’s budget has increased 65% over the past decade. They don’t lack resources, they simply lack good management.

SAVE Act for Election Integrity

I'm a co-sponsor of the SAVE Act (Safeguard American Voter Eligibility) because it should be obvious to everyone — even Democrats — that we should prevent illegal immigrants from voting. 

Unfortunately most Democrats in Congress don't agree. This legislation aims to secure our elections by requiring proof of citizenship to vote.

This op-ed I wrote for The Federalist outlines why the SAVE Act is important.

Why is Social Security in Trouble? 

During the Senate Finance Committee on September 12, I talked about why Social Security is in trouble.

Here are the issues I raised in my questioning. Since the inception of Social Security: 

— Life expectancy increased 16 years,
— Worker-to-beneficiary ratio fell from 30+:1 to 2.7:1, and
— Government spent the money instead of properly investing it.

Only taxing the “wealthy” won’t solve the problem — it will hurt economic growth and make things worse.

Tune in Monday!

On Monday, September 23 at 2pm ET,  I will lead a roundtable discussion titled, “American Health and Nutrition: A Second Opinion.” A panel of experts will provide a foundational and historical understanding of the changes that have occurred over the last century within public sanitation, agriculture, food processing, and healthcare industries which impact the current state of national health.

Angels in Adoption

I had the honor to congratulate Scott and Dawn Ripkey from Fontana, Wisconsin for being this year's Angels in Adoption honorees representing our state. 

Each year, the Congressional Coalition on Adoption Institute selects individuals, families or organizations across the nation who have demonstrated a commitment to improving the lives of children in need of permanent, loving homes. As past co-presidents of the Gift of Adoption Wisconsin chapter, the Ripkeys grew the organization in size and reach, helping make the dream of a family a reality for many more children.

If you know someone who should be nominated for this award next year, please email my office.
