The Chinese Communist Party (CCP) is the most significant threat to America’s national security and core values—like freedom. With the CCP threat on the rise, the Biden-Harris administration has weakened our standing on the world stage, emboldened our adversaries, and fostered an environment that allows global instability to take root. Confronting the CCP’s destructive influence both in the U.S. and internationally is more critical now than ever. I am glad that the House of Representatives made it a priority to counter the CCP and protect American intellectual property, agriculture, innovation, and educational institutions. 

The House passed the:

• Protect America’s Innovation and Economic Security from CCP Act
• End Chinese Dominance of Electric Vehicles in America Act
• DHS Restrictions on Confucius Institutes and Chinese Entities of Concern Act
• Protecting American Agriculture from Foreign Adversaries Act

When asked what his secret to a long life is, Mr. DeCapite says: “I can’t believe I am 100... volunteering helped me...I just get up every day, and live a good life.”  I want to thank Mr. DeCapite for his selfless service and wish him a very happy birthday. 

I voted to overturn the Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) extreme emissions standard for vehicles that would, in effect, mandate nearly two-thirds of new cars and 40% of new trucks sold in the United States to be electric by 2032. The resolution to nullify the rule passed the House of Representatives by a vote of 215 – 191. The Biden-Harris administration’s policies have made life more expensive for Americans, and the EPA’s electric vehicle near mandate is another example of out-of-touch policy from Washington that will set Americans back. Now is not the time for more unnecessary and burdensome overreach by the federal government. Ohioans have had enough.

This week, my Innovative Mitigation Partnerships for Asphalt and Concrete Technologies (IMPACT) Act, passed the House of Representatives by a by a voice vote.

The IMPACT Act will strengthen and enhance the competitiveness of American manufacturing by developing advanced technologies that will improve the efficiency of cement, concrete, and asphalt production. Production of these materials is critically important to the industrial sector and plays a fundamental role in supporting U.S. infrastructure, national defense, and economic security. The IMPACT Act will bolster American jobs in a competitive global market and enable domestic production to reach peak efficiency for decades to come.

See my remarks below:

This week I voted against another stop-gap spending bill, also known as a Continuing Resolution (CR), that passed the House of Representatives by a vote of 341 – 82. Congress has had all year to pass the twelve appropriations bills that are required to fund the government responsibly. Instead of doing that and sticking to what we said we would do, Congress once again kicked the can down the road and set ourselves up for another omnibus spending bill right before the holidays.

Last week, I voted in favor of the six-month stopgap funding bill because it included the SAVE Act, important legislation to ensure that only Americans can vote in American elections. I believed then – and I believe now – that safeguarding America’s elections is vitally important. In addition to making our elections more secure, this bill would have kept us from getting jammed at the end of the year.

This is no way to govern. Let’s get to regular order, pass our appropriations bills, and hold the line on spending as we’ve promised to do.
