Access to books offer incarcerated Americans the opportunity to learn and sharpen valuable skills that will assist in their reintegration into society.
That's why I introduced the Rehabilitation through Reading Act with @schiff.senate.gov.

The President’s budget does nothing to lower costs for hardworking American families.
Instead, he’s seeking to steal taxpayer dollars out of your pocket to make the biggest year-to-year increase in defense spending since World War II.
Grateful for the opportunity to meet with Missouri Pork Producers this week to talk about the need for a strong & bipartisan Farm Bill, the importance of trade markets for MO pork, and workforce issues facing producers across Missouri.
Thank you for taking the time to discuss these critical issues.
Corporate monopolization is terrible for consumers, allowing corporate giants to drive up prices and rip off hardworking customers.
For years, I've been fighting against Live Nation's monopoly.
Happy to see this victory for music and sports fans nationwide.
The president’s disastrous war with Iran has cost the lives of 13 servicemembers, over $40 billion in taxpayer funding, and driven gas prices up over $4 per gallon.
It’s no wonder the vast majority of Americans oppose the war.
Today, I look forward to voting on a War Powers Resolution to end it.
Thankful to the thousands of Missourians in #MO05 who participated in my Tele-Town Hall last night.
Whether it is ending the costly war in Iran or passing my bipartisan housing bill through Congress, I will continue fighting to lower costs and improve the lives of families across our district.
Missouri farmers were already struggling to stay afloat due to the president’s costly tariffs and reckless trade wars.
Now, many are straining to afford fertilizer as costs skyrocket due to the president’s war in the Middle East.
America’s farmers deserve better.
On Tax Day, we are reminded that the president’s reckless tariff taxes cost American families an average of $1,700 last year—and are expected to cost families another $2,500 this year.
It’s time that Republicans in Congress stood up for families and ended these taxes on hardworking Americans.
The president’s tariff taxes have been a disaster for American farmers and hardworking families who are now spending more to keep food on the table.
This Tax Day, Congress should provide relief to communities nationwide by putting an end to this reckless experiment.

That’s why I’m introducing the Preparing Superfund for Climate Change Act with @kamlager-dove.house.gov and @schiff.senate.gov.
Our bill will take precautionary measures at contaminated sites across the country to ensure communities are protected.

As natural disasters become more prevalent and intense due to climate change, the EPA has found that contaminated toxic waste sites nationwide are vulnerable to floods and wildfires, putting millions of Americans at risk.
Congress must take action to keep families safe.

The KC Chamber and Missouri Chamber play a vital role in strengthening local businesses across the region.
Thankful for the opportunity to meet with representatives of the Chambers this week to discuss what Congress can do to support small businesses and boost economic development.
The Quindaro Townsite is a significant piece of history in the KC region.
Today, I was proud to introduce bipartisan legislation with Rep. Schmidt & Rep. Davids to designate Quindaro as a National Historic Landmark, preserving its legacy for generations to come.

The president’s disastrous war and reckless tariff taxes continue to drive up prices.
Congress must take action to rein in this dangerous administration and provide relief to hardworking families before more damage is done.
The president promised to lower costs for hardworking families.
Instead, he started a war that has caused the largest monthly increase in gas prices in nearly 60 years, with the average household now expected to spend $740 extra on gas this year alone.
Happy Vaisakhi!
To all those observing in in #MO05 and around the world, I wish you a joyful celebration of community, faith, and abundance.
American farmers are already struggling to stay afloat, and hardworking families are straining to keep food on the table.
The president’s reckless war in the Middle East is only making matters worse.

Black women are 3x more likely to die from a pregnancy-related cause.
During Black Maternal Health Week, we raise awareness and take action to end our maternal health crisis.
Proud to work with House Democrats to pass the #Momnibus, end this crisis, and improve outcomes for Black moms nationwide.
