No president has the authority to raise revenue on the American people. We need to restore Congress’ role in setting and approving U.S. trade policy. That's why I'm working with Sen. Grassley to push the Trade Review Act of 2025.

Public radio isn’t a luxury — it’s a lifeline.
When a historic EF4 tornado tore through Kentucky in 2021, knocking out power and cell towers, WKMS stayed on air — the only source of information for thousands.
That’s what we’re fighting to protect.

Public radio saves lives. Period.
Last year alone, PBS transmitted 11,000+ emergency alerts — floods, fires, tornadoes, evacuations. Cutting its funding means silencing the alarms.
This isn’t politics — it’s public safety.
