Weekly Update - 1.19.26
Good afternoon, and welcome to our Weekend Update. This week, I appeared on “Mornings with Maria” on Fox Business, where we covered a wide range of issues, from responsibly funding the government and cutting waste and fraud to supporting President Donald J. Trump’s agenda to make life more affordable for American families. Housing is a priority for Congress and the Trump Administration. We are working to lower costs and expand access to homeownership. Even as inflation continues to decline under President Trump, outdated regulations and slow permitting can add as much as $100,000 to the cost of a new home before a shovel ever hits the dirt. That’s why I am helping advance the FSC and Congressman Mike Flood’s bipartisan Housing for the 21st Century Act. This legislation cuts red tape, streamlines permitting, houses veterans, and modernizes the building process to make it easier to build new homes. House Republicans continue to deliver wins for families by building on the Working Families Tax Cuts, unleashing domestic production, and keeping economic relief at the forefront of our policies.
