This year we have a historic opportunity to put our nation on a stronger path. In the first weeks of the 115th Congress, we have already started working to deliver real solutions for the American people. For updates, sign up for my newsletter here: http://walorski.house.gov/newsletter/
President Obama’s disgraceful decision puts American lives at risk by sending a clear message that traitors will not be held accountable for undermining our national security, aiding our enemies, and endangering our troops, intelligence officers, diplomats, and allies around the world.
Congratulations to Culver Academies’ Black Horse Troop and Equestriennes, who will be marching in the Presidential Inaugural Parade on Friday. This will be the 17th Inauguration for the Black Horse Troop since their first in 1913. These talented students will do a great job representing Hoosiers in the parade!
Thanks to all who came out to celebrate the life and legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. at Elkhart Community Baptist Church this morning!
Today we celebrate the life and legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., and we renew our commitment to fulfilling his vision. He demanded the full realization of our nation’s promise – equality and justice, truly for all. Our challenge each day is to carry on his legacy and follow his example – to serve our communities, to treat each other with respect, to be voices for the vulnerable, and to keep our hearts open to the spirit of love upon which his dream was built.
ICYMI: Last week I introduced a bill to ensure VA facilities follow their own rules when it comes to scheduling appointments for veterans. Learn more here: http://walorski.house.gov/reintroduces-va-scheduling-accou…/
Obamacare is a failed law, and it’s hurting people right now. We have a better way, and we are one step closer to providing relief to families and individuals and enacting reforms that will lower costs, protect patients, and give you back control over your health care.
I just voted to take the first step toward keeping our promise to repeal Obamacare and replace it with real reforms that put patients first. Obamacare is a failed law that is hurting people right now with skyrocketing premiums and dwindling options. Today we set the stage for repeal and a stable transition period toward a better health care system with lower costs, more choices, and strong protections for patients.
With rising premiums, higher deductibles, and fewer options, Obamacare has failed. We are working to repeal this broken law and replace it with patient-centered reforms. That was our promise to the American people, and we’re going to keep it.
Veterans risked life and limb to keep America safe and free, but too often the VA has let them down and failed to provide the quality, timely care they earned. Today I reintroduced the VA Scheduling Accountability Act to ensure every facility follows the VA’s scheduling rules. Passing this bill would be an important, common-sense step as Congress and the incoming administration get to work fixing the VA so it works for veterans.
Regulations coming out of Washington cost our economy $1.89 trillion every year and make it harder for businesses to create good jobs. It’s time to get bureaucrats under control and give power back to the people, which is why we just passed the Regulatory Accountability Act. This bill reforms the way federal agencies operate and increases transparency in the rulemaking process so the American people have real input.
I'm proudly shining a blue light in my office window on #LawEnforcementAppreciationDay to honor those who serve and protect. #BackTheBlue
Congratulations to the 51st Governor of Indiana, Governor Eric Holcomb, and our new Lt. Governor, Suzanne Crouch! They take office at a pivotal time for Indiana, and I know they are ready to get to work to keep our state the best place in the nation for families to live and work. I look forward to working with Gov. Holcomb and Lt. Gov. Crouch to grow our economy and make it so businesses can create good jobs for Hoosiers.
Praying for the victims in Ft. Lauderdale, their families, and the first responders working to keep everyone safe.
My staff will be available at locations throughout the 2nd District this month to assist with federal agency casework and other official business. Check out the schedule to find out when someone will be in your area!
In America, the people are supposed to have the final say, not federal bureaucrats. Tonight the House put power back in the hands of the people by passing the REINS Act, which requires congressional approval before costly, job-killing regulations can take effect. Passing this bill is a key step toward changing the way Washington works and getting our economy growing again.
