What role should the United States take in global affairs?
My simple answer is Fezzik, the character played by André the Giant in The Princess Bride.

Ten years ago, the Obergefell v. Hodges decision legalized same-sex marriage across the US. I am proud to stand with the LGBTQ+ community today and every day.

Last weekend, I hosted my annual event to honor participants in this year's Congressional Art Competition. I'm always amazed by the artistic talents among the 6th District's high school students. Congratulations to our 1st place winner, Zoe, whose art will be displayed in the US Capitol this year.
