Protecting Opportunities for Individuals with Disabilities

This week, I applauded the Department of Labor’s decision to withdraw its proposed rule to phase out the use of 14(c) certificates, an action that would have jeopardized meaningful employment opportunities for individuals with disabilities and threatened the future of Community Rehabilitation Providers (CRPs) nationwide.

Back in December, the Department announced its intent to eliminate 14(c) certificates, dealing a devastating blow to families and individuals who rely on these programs for steady, fulfilling employment. In response, I introduced the Continuing Opportunities for People with Disabilities Act to stand up for the thousands of Americans whose jobs were at risk.

I’m grateful to Secretary Lori Chavez-DeRemer and the Department of Labor for reversing this harmful proposal. Their decision protects the right of individuals with disabilities to choose the type of employment that best meets their needs. The pride and sense of purpose that comes with this work is deeply inspiring, and it deserves our full support.

I was proud to lead the fight against this misguided proposal, and I remain committed to preserving and expanding opportunities for individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities. After years of reckless policies under the Biden Administration, this is a welcome step toward restoring dignity, choice, and stability for some of the most hardworking individuals in our country.

Taking Action on Border Security: My Interview with NTD News

On Tuesday, I joined Steve Lance on NTD News to discuss the future of reconciliation bills and our efforts to rein in government spending. The recently passed Big Beautiful Bill includes strong provisions to secure our border and restore law and order, two areas where President Trump has shown strong leadership following the chaos of the Biden Administration.

We also discussed the crisis unfolding in Los Angeles, where lawlessness has taken hold. President Trump is stepping in to enforce the law and protect our communities. Local officials have failed their constituents by choosing politics over safety, and it's time for accountability.

In the Oversight Committee, I questioned mayors from sanctuary cities to make it clear that no one is above the law. Illegal immigration is one of the greatest challenges we face, and we must know who is entering our country. I appreciated the opportunity to speak with Steve about these important issues.

The Truth on the Big Beautiful Bill: My Interview on Between the Lines

I also joined Between the Lines with Greg Stensland to talk about the Big Beautiful Bill and what it means for Wisconsinites and Americans across the country.

We passed this bill to prevent devastating tax hikes and to fund critical border enforcement efforts. I also addressed some of the false claims being spread about Medicaid and other government programs. Rest assured, vulnerable Americans will continue to receive the benefits they rely on.

While this bill makes real progress, we must keep fighting to remove wasteful programs like the Low-Income Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC). This initiative enriches developers while doing little to help the low-income families it claims to serve.

It was great being on the show and having an honest conversation about the issues that matter to working families in Wisconsin and across the country.

Tuesday was National Cow Day. We tipped our hats to the incredible animals that fuel Wisconsin’s world-class dairy industry. Thank you to the hardworking people behind them – from farm fresh milk to award-winning cheese, you make it all possible.

I had the pleasure of attending the annual Ducktona 500 at River Park in historic Sheboygan Falls last weekend.

From the epic rubber duck race down the Sheboygan River to the massive car show, live music, and family fun, Ducktona had it all. Thank you to everyone who made this event so special. It was a true celebration of our community.

I had an amazing day at the Elkhart Lake Fire Department’s annual picnic last weekend. I'm grateful for the brave men and women who put their lives on the line every day to keep Wisconsin's Sixth District safe. It was awesome to see such strong community support, so thank you to everyone who helps protect us and to those who made last weekend a success.

I was honored to speak at the Winnebago County Unit Meeting in Winneconne, hosted by the outstanding Wisconsin Towns Association. We had a great discussion on the key challenges in our community and the solutions we can pursue to strengthen Wisconsin's Sixth District.
