End the Bureaucracy and Let Energy Production Grow

| Posted in Articles

Everyone’s talking about energy these days. Whether it’s the still-high price of gas or the many different alternative fuel sources celebrities are hawking – energy is on everyone’s minds. What it costs, how to access it, and what’s the newest thing. Energy is as much a part of Oklahoma history as the cowboys. A hundred years ago, Tulsa was the oil capitol of the entire world. Oil barons…

Restoring American energy independence

| Posted in Articles

As Americans “spring forward” having spent more of their winter paychecks to heat their homes and fill their tanks, they are rightly wondering when relief will come.   Last summer, the average price of a gallon of gas exceeded $5. Americans of every walk of life need assurance that reliable and affordable energy will be readily available…

A clean debt ceiling increase is a gift to China

| Posted in Articles

The public watched as a Communist Chinese spy balloon traversed nearly the entire continental United States this month, floating freely from Montana to Myrtle Beach before President Joe Biden finally gave the green light for the U.S. military to shoot it down. Biden’s balloon debacle was an important reminder that China will seek to exploit any real or perceived weakness from the U.S. in…

You might think Republicans are divided, but my plan will unite us all

| Posted in Articles

Last week, the media obsessed over House Republicans’ debate concerning rules reforms and leadership decisions for the 118th Congress. Despite wall-to-wall coverage of the speaker election, most media outlets ignored that conservatives are unified behind the desire to fix the top issue facing our country, the national debt and President Biden’s reckless spending agenda.  Restoring…

Insulin Price Caps Aren’t the Answer

| Posted in Articles

Over the past several decades, the federal government has exercised unprecedented control over aspects of American life that our Founders never intended—including your personal medical decisions. As a life-long job creator and small business owner, I know the dangers of an intrusive government. Regulators in the executive branch don’t know what it takes to develop a product, find your…

House GOP Task Force Aims to Cut Health Care Costs, Boost Patients’ Choices

| Posted in Articles

Everyone agrees: Health care in America is too expensive and too complicated. Democrats want to double down on a centralized, Washington-controlled plan for your health care. We’ve seen the damaging impact that has had on the quality of, and access to, care in socialist countries abroad.  Republicans know that to fix the health care system and lower costs, we need to increase…

More than the bare minimum

| Posted in Articles

When voters send their elected officials to Washington, they have certain expectations for us. First, they expect us to show up to work, be present in the House of Representatives, vote on legislation, and participate in our assigned committees. This is the bare minimum of our constitutional requirement. Next, they expect us to be their voice in our nation’s capital. Our constituents…

Biden must confront his failed policies that have led to our energy crisis

| Posted in Articles

The Biden administration refuses to take the blame for their self-inflicted energy crisis. While gas prices have steadily risen for a year, Biden wants Americans to believe that — rather than his own failed policies — it’s conflict on the other side of the planet causing your gas prices to rise.   Certainly, the invasion in Ukraine is causing further hardship, but the energy…

Time to finally put Biden's vaccine mandates behind us

| Posted in Articles

The Biden administration spent their first year in office overreaching into every aspect of American life, the most dangerous of which is its unconstitutional vaccine mandate for private businesses. Since their announcement in November, the mandates have remained under intense legal scrutiny, losing major battles across federal courts. One of the main objections from courts is the lack…

Democrat leaders aren’t living up to their promises and spending wildly

| Posted in Articles

Looking back on President Joe Biden’s first year in the White House, there’s a lot to be desired. Despite unilateral control of Washington, DC, Democrat leaders have not fulfilled a single promise made on the campaign trail. Biden promised no vaccine mandates; now, he’s lost multiple court battles over that very issue. He promised to shut down the virus; COVID deaths in 2021 outpaced…
