This letter lays out six concise, bipartisan priorities: boosting domestic production and resilient supply chains; securing borders while streamlining legal immigration; expanding infrastructure equitably; codifying durable policies; and enhancing veterans’ care. By refining incentives, leveraging new technologies, and enshrining reforms in law, Congress can drive economic growth, protect communities, modernize critical networks, ensure policy stability, and honor those who served. 1. Domestic Manufacturing & Supply-Chain Resilience Incentivize onshoring of critical industries—semiconductors, clean-energy components, biotech—through targeted tax credits, workforce training grants, and public-private partnerships to create high-quality jobs and lower consumer costs . Establish a permanent Supply Chain Resilience Working Group at Commerce to forecast disruptions, map vulnerabilities, and coordinate government-industry responses . 2. Secure, Efficient Border Management Build on the Subterranean Border Defense Act (H.R. 495) to require annual CBP reports on tunnel threats, ensuring Congress has oversight of illicit cross-border operations . Expand vetted worker visas for agriculture, construction, and tech, paired with enhanced biometric screening and real-time data sharing with state and local partners . 3. Infrastructure for Every Community Allocate BIL funds ($973 billion through FY 2026) to close the rural-urban broadband gap, modernize power grids for climate resilience, and expedite permitting for both renewable and conventional energy projects . Upgrade ports, highways, and rail to ease freight bottlenecks, cut shipping costs, and create construction-phase jobs nationwide . 4. Policy Stability via Legislative Codification Reduce executive-branch whiplash by codifying major reforms—immigration adjustments, environmental permitting rules, regulatory streamlining—into statute for consistent, transparent governance . Support bipartisan bills like the Energy Permitting Reform Act to set clear timelines (e.g., 150-day limit for project reviews) and durable standards . 5. Veterans & Military Families Build on the recent passage of seven veterans’ bills (e.g., Survivors Act, GI Bill fairness, cancer-study mandates) to tackle VA staffing shortages, expand telehealth, and secure concurrent retirement and disability pay . Launch bipartisan efforts to shore up VA solvency and streamline benefits processing, ensuring timely care and support for all who served . ⸻ A Call to Lasting Leadership By focusing on these shared priorities, Congress can deliver pragmatic, lasting solutions that transcend partisan divides, bolster public trust, and leave a legacy of bold, balanced progress.
