Realign trade policies for economic growth, curb tariff actions

As elected representatives, the burden falls on you to rein in the administration's reckless trade policies that threaten to spark inflation, disrupt global supply chains, and invite retaliation against American exporters.

Vote NO on H.R. 22 and Support H.Res.70

Why are you allowing President Trump to strip Congress of its constitutional powers? Congress controls the purse. Congress decides what agencies exist or not. Congress is a co-equal branch of the government. Don't forget it! Stand up to the usurpation of your power!
