I’m very confident that business as usual in Washington ended today.

Today we saw the culmination of millions of Americans standing up and speaking out that they are tired of watching their government encroach further into their lives with higher taxes, increased regulations, and out-of-control spending.

I want to offer my congratulations to our newly inaugurated President, Donald J. #Trump, and our Vice President, Mike #Pence. I look forward to working with the President and his team as we hit the ground running on the most productive first 100 days in modern history--giving relief to so many Americans who have felt the crushing burden of these last eight years. Let’s get to work. #Inauguration

Debbie and I have really enjoyed seeing so many of you in town for inauguration this weekend. Looking forward to the celebration tomorrow!

Last night I had the opportunity to join The Daily Caller for a Facebook Live event--talking Obamacare repeal, the upcoming inauguration, and more.

Within hours of inauguration this Friday, President-elect Trump and Republicans in Congress will be ready to get to work immediately and begin rolling back the out-of-control bureaucracy in Washington.

"The time is always right to do what is right."

Thank you, Dr. King. #MLKDay

Best wishes to my friend Dr. Dan Lunsford, Mars Hill University President, on his upcoming retirement. Dr. Lunsford is one of the best.

Op-ed with my House Freedom Caucus colleague, Jim Jordan: "No more excuses, Republicans." It's time to keep our promises and do the bold things that the American people sent us here to do.

Republicans in #Congress have rightfully criticized the excessive spending habits of the Obama Administration these last 8 years. For us to bring back earmarks now would send the wrong message. It cannot happen.

It's time for Congress to restore order and use its power over the purse for its rightful purpose: to rein in our out-of-control government and bureaucracy.

My interview on Your World with Neil Cavuto:

The facts are clear: #Obamacare has had disastrous effects on our #economy and #healthcare system. This law needs to be repealed and replaced both quickly and effectively, and it needs to be done in this Congress--not kicked down the road to the future, as #Congress so often does.

Too often, Congress takes a defeatist attitude before we even begin a job. At this moment, it's critical that we take on a much more aggressive, ‘get to work’ mindset when it comes to keeping our promises--particularly in the area of healthcare reform and repealing Obamacare. That's our job. That's what we were sent here to do.

I spoke with Peter Alexander on "Meet the Press Daily" about this issue.

#Obamacare is the first big test of this new Congress, and we have an obligation to act now, to act thoroughly, and to act swiftly. Republicans have promised to repeal Obamacare over the last 3 elections. It’s time to deliver on serious, patient-centered healthcare reform that will provide Americans with real options at affordable costs.

Great to join my friend Shannon Bream with Fox News yesterday to talk about repealing and replacing Obamacare.

Today is Law Enforcement Appreciation Day (L.E.A.D. Day)! Thank you to the men and women in blue who lay their lives on the line every day to protect us--especially the officers of #NC11, the best in the country.

We often forget how much we rely on these men and women until we're in need. On a day like today, if you see a police officer, be sure to thank them!

Happy birthday to one of the truly finest places in the country, the City of Hendersonville, NC -- turning 170 this week!

Hendersonville, NC City Government

The most effective way to grow our economy: simplify the tax code, reduce #taxes, and unlock the potential of American workers and business.

Watch the video below to see my interview on Fox Business, discussing our new Congress' goal of reforming our tax system and lifting the crushing burden of government off of working families.

Thanks to Senator Rand Paul for meeting with the House Freedom Caucus today -- discussing solutions to healthcare reform and our budget deficit. Great to work with a man who has consistently demonstrated such a strong commitment to upholding conservative principles and values.

Humbled and privileged to begin serving #NC11 this week in the 115th Congress. We have a long road ahead and there is much work to be done, but I'm optimistic and truly believe that the best days of America are ahead.

To the great people of Western NC--thank you for giving me this opportunity. My voting card will always belong to you.

Debbie and I want to wish you and your family a safe and blessed 2017! We are so thankful to live in a country where we have so much to hope for and aspire to in the coming year. May God bless you, and #HappyNewYear!

My family and I would like to wish you and yours a Merry Christmas and safe travels as many of you join family out of town. We have so much to be thankful for this Christmas, particularly as we pause to remember the birth of the greatest gift of all -- the Lord Jesus Christ. This holiday season, let us remember to love one another as God so richly loves us.

Isaiah 9:2: “The people that walked in darkness have seen a great light: they that dwell in the land of the shadow of death, upon them hath the light shined.” May the true light of Christ illumine your lives. From my family to yours -- Merry Christmas!
