I co-sponsored this measure which would:
1) prohibit spending from exceeding revenues in any fiscal year unless 3/5 of each house of Congress approves;
2) require 3/5 of each house to authorize an increase in the debt limit;
3) direct the President to annually submit a balanced budget to Congress;
As we take action to keep Americans safe from mass shootings, we must also ensure we are not creating unintended consequences for the millions of law abiding citizens who responsibly exercise their right to protect themselves each day.To ensure I’m putting my best foot forward for you in Washington, I will always make a point to look at an issue from all angles, do my homework, listen to your concerns, and determine the best course of action for Nevadans.
TOPLINE:
Over the last two weeks, I’ve received questions from some of you asking why I voted against bills to “open” the federal government. As always, thank you for reaching out and sharing your concerns. I’d like to address those concerns today, and also share some of mine with you. One of my biggest concerns throughout this shutdown is why House Democrats continue making us take pointless votes that make it appear as if the House is trying to reopen our federal government – when really, these bills will do nothing to get us out of our current situation.
Happy New Year. I hope everyone had an enjoyable holiday season. With yesterday being the first day of the 116th Congress, I wanted to take a moment to check in and provide an update on what’s been happening here on Capitol Hill as our federal government enters its 14th day of a partial shutdown.
Recently, the House passed H.R. 10, the Financial CHOICE Act of 2017, legislation to amend the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act – the most sweeping financial regulation of our time – to deliver meaningful relief to financial institutions and consumers across the nation.
To begin with, I’m incredibly pleased to see the House Financial Services Committee exercise regular order to advance the CHOICE ACT, a bill that underwent several Committee hearings and an extensive three-day markup process before it was brought to the House Floor for a vote.
Questions to consider on Immigration Reform
As the House and Senate debate how best to fix our broken immigration system, I think it is important to consider the following questions:
1) Should we legalize some, all, or none of the illegal immigrant population? What sort of legal status should we confer? How can we be both humane and respectful of the rule of law?
2) What will be the impact of legalization on the federal budget?
3) What will be the impact of legalization on American employers and workers?
