I’m incredibly honored to have earned the trust of the people of the 3rd Congressional District and to serve as their Representative for a second term. I will continue fighting to cut federal spending and shrink the size of government, stan...ding up for seniors by protecting and strengthening valuable programs like Medicare and Social Security, and encouraging job creation by eliminating overregulation and reforming the tax code so hard working Americans can keep as much of their paychecks as possibleSee More- Incredibly honored to serve the people of the 3rd District and blessed to be surrounded by my family today as we begin the 113th Congress.

- Proud to have voted yesterday to help pass a Congressional pay freeze. Meanwhile, just last week the President issued an executive order to give pay increases to the Vice President, Congress, senior bureaucratic officials, judges and other federal employees.

Washington did not tax its way to a $16.3 trillion debt; it spent its way there. The Senate package does nothing to address the spending crisis in this country that has resulted in four straight years of trillion dollar deficits and a $16.3... trillion debt. In May and August of this past year, the House passed legislation to avert the fiscal cliff, avoid sequestration, and protect all Americans from tax increases. The Senate refused to act then, and instead sent an incomplete package in the dead of night to the House that fails to address spending in any way and kicks the can down the road. The Senate bill raises $41 million in revenues for every $1 dollar of spending cuts. It is nothing more than business as usual as Washington tries to increase the size of government on the backs of the hard working American people. The failure to face the real issue—the spending crisis in this country—is irresponsible, dysfunctional and egregious.See More- Waiting for the Senate to take action on the two bills we passed in the House earlier this year to avert the fiscal cliff, or pass a plan of their own. I continue to hope for a balanced solution that includes spending cuts to address our country's $16.3 trillion debt, avoids sequestration, and prevents one of the largest tax increases in history on American families and small businesses from going into effect. Additionally, I am urging leadership to take action and bring a measure up for a vote to provide certainty for our farming and ranching community, to ensure that they can continue to operate uninterrupted and feed our growing nation.
- In Colorado, Katie’s Law has a proven track record of helping law enforcement take dangerous criminals off the streets, undoubtedly preventing future crimes. Today’s passage of Katie’s Law is a blow to violent criminals, and a victory for t...heir victims and law enforcement. This common sense bill takes an important next step toward bringing Katie’s Law to a national scale and will further strengthen law enforcement’s ability to track down the most violent offenders, close cold cases, and keep our women and children safe.See More

- When a farm is passed from one generation to the next following the death of a family member, it can be extremely difficult to continue operations and pay employees when facing the crippling estate tax. Families intending to continue the family business and maintain valuable jobs should have the opportunity to do so without being crushed by a punitive tax measure.
