Welfare Reform

On Monday of this week, President Trump announced that he's looking "very strongly" at welfare reform and that it will be a "big topic" in his administration.

I applaud this announcement as many government programs that were originally designed to fight poverty are now hampering upward mobility among those they are trying to help.

Reconciliation through the budget process might be the last chance to do welfare reform for the following year. Unfortunately, the Senate removed the mandatory cuts put in by the House. These cuts are important for the future of our country. Failure of Congress to act unnecessarily delays Trump’s agenda, which is why we must act now.

Coolest Thing Made in Wisconsin

Congratulations to the Sixth District's own Oshkosh Defense. Its Joint Light Tactical Vehicle was just named the coolest thing made in Wisconsin!

Around the Sixth District

This week, I was working at home in the Sixth District.

I toured several facilities, including Mid States Alumnium and Carew Concrete, where I discussed tax reform and other issues affecting businesses and workers.

I also had the opportunity to tour The Rivers Senior Living, where I hosted a town hall for residents about issues specifically affecting seniors.
