Weekend Update - 10.18.26

Dear Friend, Good afternoon, and welcome to our Weekend Update. Under the Biden administration, government bureaucrats pressured and threatened banks to stop doing business with certain industries like fossil fuels, firearms, digital assets, and religious organizations. My Financial Services Committee Republicans Subcommittee on Oversight and Investigations exposed this effort, and this week’s U.S. Comptroller of the Currency report confirmed many of our findings. This goes way beyond the scope of the federal government’s authority, and it’s exactly what Democrats will do if they regain power in Washington. My colleagues and I on the Financial Services Committee have advanced legislation to ensure future Democrat administrations cannot pressure banks into carrying out their far-left ideology. I joined “Varney & Co.” on Fox Business to discuss. Click here or below to watch.  

Weekend Update - 10.11.26

Good afternoon, and welcome to our Weekend Update. Republicans have a plan to lower prices across the board: invest in America, expand American manufacturing and energy production, lower interest rates, and keep taxes low. When we produce more here at home and supply exceeds demand, prices come down. Democrats don’t have a real plan. The only plan they have articulated is to raise your taxes. Raising taxes to lower costs is like trying to put out a fire with gasoline. Watch my interview on Newsmax where I discuss the GOP’s Midterm strategy, my Financial Service’s Subcommittee on Oversight and Investigations report on the Biden Administration’s failures to deliver decent public housing to American citizens, and more. Click here or below to watch. I joined "The John Fredericks Show" this week to discuss what’s at stake this November, the critical congressional races here in Pennsylvania, and the clear choice voters have between our strong Republican candidates and today’s Democrat Party. We also discussed my work to root out waste, fraud, and abuse across the federal government. As Chairman of the Financial Services Subcommittee on Oversight and Investigations, I also recently released a report exposing serious failures at public housing authorities across the country and the need for greater accountability over taxpayer dollars. Republicans are fighting to protect taxpayer dollars, restore accountability in Washington, and keep our country moving in the right direction. Click here or below to watch. IN NEWS YOU WON’T HEAR IN THE MAINSTREAM MEDIA: Socialist Agenda will cost Pennsylvania Families $355k Radical Democrat candidates and their socialist buddies like Zohran Mamdani and AOC want to implement an extreme socialist agenda if they take back the House. And what does that socialist agenda mean for Pennsylvania families? $22,000 less in take-home pay each year, mortgage rates as high as 12%, and a $355,000 bill per household. That’s what they all want to do if they regain power: hike taxes, drive up prices, and take more from Texans.  

Weekend Update- 10.4.26

Good afternoon and welcome our Weekend Update. President Donald J. Trump’s announcement of a new $15 billion steel plant in Iowa is a major investment in American steelmaking, American workers, and our national security. And we’re seeing that same commitment to American steel right here in Pennsylvania. U.S. Steel is making significant new investments in its Pennsylvania operations, strengthening an industry that has powered our Commonwealth and our country for generations. From expanding domestic steel production to unleashing American energy and supporting the coal and manufacturing industries that make it possible, President Trump’s policies are encouraging companies to invest and build here in the United States. Watch my interview on “Mornings with Fox Business,” where I discuss the new steel investment, Energy Secretary Chris Wright’s recent visit to Pennsylvania, and more. Click here or below to watch.

Good afternoon, and welcome to our Weekend Update. I joined Fox News  to discuss the fundamental difference between the Republican agenda and the policies of the Democrat socialists. Republicans in Congress and the Trump administration have worked and will continue to work to lower prescription drug costs through Most Favored Nation pricing, lower energy costs, expand responsible American energy production, secure the border, and stop billions in fraud against American taxpayers. Meanwhile, Democrats are fighting our efforts to combat fraud and embracing policies like open borders and boys in girls' sports. One thing is certain; this is not your father’s Democrat Party.

Good afternoon, and welcome to our Weekend Update. This week, the House passed the Ratepayer Protection Act, which codifies President Donald J. Trump’s mandate that data centers commit to providing their own power. The legislation passed the House overwhelmingly. Unfortunately, the bill stalled in the Senate when one Democrat objected to its passage. Click here or below to watch my interview on Newsmax’s “Wake Up America” where we discussed the Ratepayer Protection Act, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent’s recent Financial Services Committee hearing, and his upcoming talks with Chinese officials on exchange rate manipulation and intellectual property theft.

Good afternoon, and welcome to our Weekend Update. Twenty-five years ago, the September 11th attacks changed our country and our world forever. Many Americans still bear scars from that day, both physical and psychological. A few days after the attacks, I went to Lower Manhattan to deliver mobility scooters to first responders who were on their feet for days. While the sense of loss was overwhelming, the support and patriotism displayed by all in New York City and in communities across the nation inspired hope in all of us. On Friday, we marked the 25th anniversary of September 11th, Americans must come together to rededicate ourselves to the values that make the United States the greatest country in the world and remain vigilant to all threats to our Republic.

Good morning, and welcome to our Weekend Update. Earlier this week, I joined Fox Business to discuss Secretary Chris Wright and his visit to Pennsylvania coal country to show his support for Pennsylvania workers and clean, beautiful coal. During the visit, Secretary Wright and SBA Administrator Kelly Loeffler signed an agreement to bring more private investment to our energy infrastructure through Small Business Investment Companies. Watch for more on the Secretary’s visit, House Republicans’ legislative plan for next month, and more. Click here or below to watch.  

Weekend Update - 8.23.26

Good morning, and welcome to our Weekend Update. Earlier this week, it was great to join Speaker Mike Johnson and Congressman Rob Bresnahan for an event focused on supporting the brave men and women of law enforcement who work every day to keep our communities safe. Under Speaker Johnson’s leadership, House Republicans are working alongside President Trump to restore law and order, secure our border, combat the flow of deadly fentanyl, and stand firmly with the officers who put their lives on the line to protect us. Despite holding one of the narrowest majorities in congressional history, the Speaker continues to unite us and deliver results for the American people. Rob has also been a strong addition to Pennsylvania’s Republican congressional delegation and an effective partner in representing the priorities of northeastern Pennsylvania. We are fortunate to have his leadership in Washington and his commitment to the hardworking families and communities he serves. Protecting our Republican House majority will be critical to maintaining the progress we have made and continuing to move our country in the right direction. I look forward to continuing to work alongside Speaker Johnson, Rob, and our entire Republican team to deliver for Pennsylvania and advance our shared conservative values.  

Weekend Update - 8.16.26

Dear Friend, I ran for Congress to deliver results for Pennsylvania—and that is exactly what my team and I are doing. During the first half of this year, we have had hundreds of meetings with constituents, secured critical investments for our communities, helped hundreds of constituents cut through federal bureaucracy, advanced commonsense legislation, and continued working alongside President Donald J. Trump to put America First. “I am indeed grateful to all of you for resolving my Social Security /Medicare issue so rapidly. Without your help, it would still be an unresolved, ongoing issue, I’m sure." - Constituent from Schuylkill County
