One Step Closer to Election Integrity!

Since taking office in 2021, President Biden has released nearly 5 million illegal immigrants into the country. Additionally, over 2 million have entered the country undetected as “gotaways”. Many of these illegals have moved to states that provide driver's licenses and other benefits, providing ample opportunity to illegally register to vote.

In response, this week the House passed the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility (SAVE) Act. This legislation amends current law to require proof of citizenship to register to vote in Federal elections. Although it is already illegal to vote as a non-citizen, states are currently prohibited from verifying citizenship when registering voters.

In addition, the SAVE Act will provide states access to federal immigration databases to remove non-citizens from voter rolls and allow civil suits against election officials who refuse to follow proof of citizenship requirements. By implementing stricter voter registration requirements, enhancing security measures, and increasing transparency, the SAVE Act aims to protect our elections from fraud and misconduct.

It is important to note that this will not affect your ability to register to vote. Wisconsinites will still be able to register in person, by mail, or online.

I was glad to support this legislation as it reflects a commitment to upholding the fundamental principles of our democracy and preserving the sanctity of our electoral system for future generations to come.

Oversight Hearing with EPA

The House Oversight Committee held a hearing on the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). The EPA under the Biden Administration has pushed a big-government climate agenda, including the implementation of burdensome regulations and sweeping executive orders that have raised energy costs on American consumers and businesses.

As Sheboygan County residents are aware, the County has been wrongly penalized by the EPA for air quality standards because of pollution that originates out of state being blown into the County. In 2018, I hosted the House Oversight Committee in Sheboygan County for a briefing on the negative impact of this decision. In 2020, after years of work, President Trump’s EPA Administrator, Andrew Wheeler, came to Sheboygan County to announce changes to the EPA designation that would split the full-county nonattainment area into separate Inland Sheboygan and Shoreline Sheboygan areas. This action provided Wisconsin with additional flexibility in meeting Clean Air Act requirements, and acknowledged differences in the factors influencing air quality in the separate areas.

At this week’s committee hearing with EPA Administrator Michael Regan, I asked him about nonattainment along Lake Michigan and encouraged him to work with me and my office to bring this issue to light so we can one day solve the improper nonattainment issue for the entirety of Sheboygan County.

In my second half of questioning to Administrator Regan, I focused primarily on the EPA regulations that disproportionately hurt small businesses and manufacturers. I suggested that they establish a small business advisory panel and they have yet to do so. I did not feel Administrator Regan provided adequate answers to my questions, but as your Congressman I will pursue this and look to work with his office so that businesses in Wisconsin are no longer needlessly penalized.
