Rep. Monica De La Cruz: Working to find solutions to Texas housing issues
“For many, owning a home is the American dream. Yet, outdated and inefficient housing policies are keeping Texans from turning homeownership into reality. Across our communities, families that need assistance are left on long wait lists, and veterans struggle to find housing that meets their needs. These challenges are not abstract – this is what countless Americans across our country are facing. But fortunately, as Vice Chairwoman of the Housing and Insurance Subcommittee for the House Financial Services Committee, I am working to find solutions to the issues far too many people are facing.” Read the full op-ed by clicking here.
Rep. Jim Baird: Vietnam veterans once faced hostility. Today, America honors their sacrifice.
“Every Veterans Day, we honor the brave men and women who have defended our freedoms since the American Revolution. As our large-scale active conflicts have drawn to a close, I have noticed the appreciation people have shown for the men and women returning home. Not every veteran returned to the hero’s welcome they deserved. Unlike the veterans who preceded them, Vietnam veterans often came home to hostility and rejection.” Read the full op-ed by clicking here.
Rep. Julie Fedorchak: Time to fix the Unaffordable Care Act
“Fifteen years later, none of that matches what North Dakotans have lived. Instead, we pay higher premiums and have fewer choices. And Washington is trying to hide the true costs with more and more subsidies instead of fixing the underlying problem. The latest debate in Congress is over something called the Enhanced Premium Tax Credits. You’ve probably heard about these temporary credits and how they’re set to expire onJanuary 1, 2026.” Read the full op-ed by clicking here.
Rep. Michael Baumgartner: Caracas’s Crime Hub
“Long before I became a member of Congress, I frequently traveled to and advised international mining companies in Venezuela. I saw the country’s potential: blessed with the world’s largest oil reserves, talent, and the rule-of-law foundations to turn natural wealth into broad prosperity. I saw how socialist thugs Hugo Chávez and Nicolás Maduro brutalized its people and impoverished a nation that once led Latin America in living standards. Their predatory policies now export disorder beyond Venezuela’s borders.” Read the full op-ed by clicking here.
