Spending and Economy
Under one-party rule in Washington, D.C., the federal government spent tens of trillions of dollars on initiatives that both drive inflation up and punish small businesses through tax and interest rate hikes.

This is unacceptable, which is why as a member of the powerful House Appropriations Committee responsible for all federal spending, I am fighting for a common-sense conservative approach to spending taxpayer dollars that works for Americans and small businesses and protects against disguised tax hikes like the Inflation Reduction Act.
