Our kids are starting a new school year, but our rural schools have been left out to dry.
The SRS program expired, and our timber counties have already laid off teachers and halted road projects.
Congress must act now, and our kids deserve a long-term fix.

We deserve a Congress that’s unafraid to speak the truth and hold itself to the same standards most Americans do.
It’s why I’m fighting for basic, nonpartisan ethics standards for Representatives facing cognitive decline or memory loss.

In our laws and legislation, a thousand words paint a picture.
But sometimes a concept just can't be described without an image.
After I found out there's no process to add home blueprints for veterans to a bill, my amendment passed committee to work toward including visual information in bills.

It slashes funding by 60%+ for clean water initiatives in our state and reduces resources for the agencies that maintain our public lands, monitor seismic activity, & run timber sales.
