He had just been released from prison before viciously killing five people in Waukesha, Wisconsin over the weekend, and injuring 48 others. By any reasonable measure, this guy is a CAREER CRIMINAL, having been arrested for things like sexual abuse, domestic abuse, battery, reckless endangerment, possession of a dangerous weapon, possession of drugs, resisting an officer, bail jumping,… Read more »

The jury has spoken! After sitting through the entire trial… After seeing all the evidence… After deliberating for several days… the jury UNANIMOUSLY found Kyle Rittenhouse NOT GUILTY on all five charges. It infuriates me to look back at how – long before that verdict was reached – the media (and many Democrats) laid waste to Kyle, his family, his presumption of innocence until proven… Read more »

It's been an exhausting week, but well worth it. We just wrapped up a series of in-person town halls all over the district, and I want to thank the hundreds of people who showed up. It was great to see and hear from so many folks! Also a special thanks to Rep.

Tyler Terry is a suspect in multiple murders here in South Carolina and Missouri. After opening fire on a Chester County Sheriff’s Deputy during a high-speed pursuit back on May 17th, a weeklong manhunt ensued. Over 300 officers from numerous… Read more »

The agenda outlined by President Biden on Wednesday night is a one-way ticket to a socialistic welfare state with astronomical taxes, and government encroaching on every aspect of our lives.  His vision for our nation involves growing the size of almost every corner of the federal government. (With the exception of our military, to nobody’s surprise.) There’s simply no room to talk… Read more »

He was a hero, just like EVERY man and woman who walks the "thin blue line." Only this particular hero made the ultimate sacrifice.   Officer Brian Sicknick sustained grave injuries on January 6th while protecting the Capitol from criminal rioters. Despite the best efforts of EMTs, doctors and nurses, he succumbed to those injuries a day later.   Earlier this… Read more »

More fallout from Day #1 of the Biden Administration. We need some quick answers on this.   One of the things Mr. Biden did last week was place a 100-day moratorium on most deportations. Over 14,000 illegal immigrants had been in the custody of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (“ICE”).   Of those, more than 70% have either been charged with, or convicted of,… Read more »
