Empty shelves. Higher prices. Families cutting back on groceries and skipping meals. Reckless tariffs aren’t helping; they’re failing. From baby formula to car tires, the cost of living keeps climbing while promises of affordability ring hollow. Will the GOP wake up and hear their struggle?

I grew up helping at our family owned grocery store, and saw how connecting people with healthy foods from small family owned markets can uplift communities. Our new local effort will also give NW Ohio farmers, producers and growers markets for their fruits, vegetables and grains to reach consumers.

Costs are exploding and people need relief. If the President can take a break from knocking down the East Wing and ballroom planning, I'd love to show him our district where many of his supporters need his help.
This sends a signal that freedom-loving nations agree Russian aggression must stop. Dictator Vladimir Putin’s troops must return to inside Russia’s own borders and return the over 20,000 Ukrainian children Russia brutishly kidnapped.
I think ranchers understand plenty: their livelihoods are threatened by high production input costs, low herd volumes, and tariffs choking the US Farm economy. Maybe it’s the $40 Billion you’re sending to Argentina to prop up its markets that’s got them a little out of sorts, Mr. President.
This isn’t about politics—it’s about consequences. Republicans control the House, Senate, and Presidency. They are keeping the government closed.
Republicans chose this shutdown—veterans are paying the price.

Roughly 30% of our federal workforce (600,000 veterans) are being hit TWICE by this shutdown: missing paychecks and losing access to basic services. Trump is using this crisis to threaten more cuts, even as the VA has already lost 30,000 employees. Further losses are critically dangerous.
4
The VA is failing to process GI Bill tuition and housing payments, leaving student veterans unable to pay rent or stay enrolled. This breaks VA’s own assurances that benefits would continue during the shutdown. Families struggling while answers and accountability never come? That's not stability.
3
1.6 Million veterans rely on Medicaid, and 600,000 more get coverage through the ACA. Most won’t be exempt from new Medicaid work rules, and 267,000 could completely lose insurance when tax credits expire. Cutting these programs abandons veterans who served our nation.

🧵 Veterans, like everyone else, are being hurt by this reckless shutdown. VA hospitals stay open, but GI Bill payments are stalled, casework is ignored, and thousands of veteran federal workers are missing paychecks. Our heroes deserve stability and respect, not to be used as a means of leverage.

While Secretary Hegseth is out joyriding on $25,000 per hour fighter jets, we have enlisted troops on track for missed paychecks while families are worried about how to afford to put food on the table. Help me make this make sense!?!? Speaker Johnson needs to call the House back, now!
Already struggling with high food prices, 108,000 northwest Ohio families and farmers now face cuts to nutrition support as the GOP shutdown continues. Ohio’s "Rainy Day Fund" could safeguard SNAP benefits but Washington and Columbus would rather protect the Billionaires than open the government.
Wishing all celebrating a Diwali filled with light, laughter, and happiness.
In NW Ohio and across America, air traffic controllers safeguard every flight with skill and dedication. They deserve respect and a paycheck. Their service keeps our skies safe, even as Republican gridlock puts them in hardship.
Today on #DayOfTheController, we say THANK YOU!
Demolition at the White House to build a fancy ballroom as a monument for and to Billionaires is a stark contrast as millions of Americans are soon to lose their health insurance.
Our farmers are also fighting for their life and livelihood, but a reckless trade war risks them losing everything. This bailout puts Argentina first, and American farmers last.
Wonderful to be back at Swanton’s Holy Trinity Church’s Fall Festival Dinner. Happy to see Char Kreuz, Shawn Langenderfer, and so many friendly faces from across Fulton County who exemplify excellence in agriculture and are pillars of our local communities.
$40 Billion to Argentina. Private jets for the Secretary. Waste, Fraud, and Abuse.
