Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2026OPPOSE
“This resolution sends a very clear message: The United States will not be silent while the Chinese Communist Party continues to detain, torture, and disappear innocent people, including family members of American citizens. These individuals are not criminals. They are pastors, doctors, publishers, and brave voices who have been targeted simply because they threaten the CCP's fabricated narrative and grip on power.”

Smithsonian American Women's History Museum ActOPPOSE
“Ursula Ellen Kennedy made history as the first woman elected to the Tustin City Council and the first woman to serve as mayor of Tustin. At a time when few women held public office, Ursula stepped forward to serve the city she loved. In 1978, she was elected to the Tustin City Council, and 6 years later, her colleagues chose her to serve as Tustin's mayor. However, her story did not begin in city hall. While raising her family, she became a writer, publishing more than 500 articles and a book of essays.”

Hotel Fees Transparency Act of 2025OPPOSE
“Hidden fees on short-term lodging, whether it is at hotels, motels, inns, resorts, or rentals, make it harder for families to plan for a trip. Too often, what looks like an affordable overnight stay online turns out to be far more expensive once these deceptive charges are added. Additionally, the way these prices are advertised are fragmented and not uniform. Americans deserve price transparency so that they can appropriately budget for their travels.”

Taiwan Non-Discrimination Act of 2025OPPOSE
“I would also like to thank Representative Green of Texas for co-leading H.R. 910 and making this a bipartisan effort. This bill is simple. It requires the Treasury Department to advocate for Taiwan to join the International Monetary Fund, or IMF. Unfortunately, China has consistently blocked Taiwan's participation in international forums, including IMF. China pursues these tactics because they know that financial security is just as important as military security.”
