Dear Friend,

This was a busy week in Washington. I want to give an update on what's been going on:

• Congress passed a compromise budget resolution to unlock President Trump’s agenda.
• The Ways & Means Committee held a hearing with USTR Ambassador Greer to discuss the Administration's trade priorities.
• The Ways & Means Subcommittee on Work & Welfare held a hearing on lifting Americans out of poverty.
• I introduced the bipartisan Fallen Servicemembers Religious Heritage Restoration Act.
• April is Cancer Prevention and Early Detection Month and I co-sponsored several related bills.
• The House passed the SAVE Act to keep non-citizens from voting in our elections.

Keep reading below for more details.

This week’s vote unlocks the next step on the path to delivering much-needed tax relief to hardworking American families, supporting President Trump’s successful work on border security, expanding our energy independence, and getting America’s fiscal house in order. Republicans from both chambers came together and unified around this measure. I look forward to working with our colleagues in the Senate to renew the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act in the coming weeks. 

Every American who puts on the uniform deserves to be remembered with dignity and respect. That’s why I introduced the Fallen Servicemembers Religious Heritage Restoration Act. Many brave servicemembers made the ultimate sacrifice while defending freedom in World War I and World War II, but due to clerical errors or concerns for their safety during service, their religious identities were not properly recorded. This bill is a meaningful step to correct those errors and ensure these heroes are laid to rest with the honor and dignity they deserve.

As you may know, April is Cancer Prevention and Early Detection Month. Cancer impacts all too many Americans and while I’m grateful for the dedicated commitment of so many to address this devasting disease, innovations in treatment, research, and preventative screenings remain paramount.

That’s why I have cosponsored legislation aimed at addressing and preventing cancer in our nation.  I will remain vigilant through my role on the House Ways and Means Committee to address challenges to quality healthcare services in our region.

Bills I’ve cosponsored: 

• Give Kids a Chance Act of 2025 - Children with cancer deserve access to the most advanced medicines possible. This legislation will incentivize the development of medicine and treatments for children with rare cancer diseases. 

• Medicare Multi-Cancer Early Detection Screening Coverage Act - Innovative multi-cancer early detection screenings are emerging which hold the potential to detect cancer earlier than ever before. This will help ensure that Americans can utilize these vital tools for the prevention of cancers. 

• PSA Screening for HIM Act – Early detection of prostate cancer is critical to survival, and this bill would eliminate financial barriers that stand between men and longer, healthier lives through early detection.

Many people have said that the SAVE Act is unnecessary because Federal law already bars non-citizens from voting. However, the truth is that under the National Voter Registration Act as it stands without the SAVE Act, states do not have the tools they need to ensure those who are registering to vote are citizens. House Republicans are giving the states the necessary tools.

Under the National Voter Registration Act (NVRA), states may not require proof of citizenship when registering voters. The SAVE Act fixes this loophole by requiring states to verify citizenship. The bill also requires states to remove non-citizens from their voter rolls and allows states no-cost access to federal databases with citizenship information to do so.
