When House Republicans took the majority nearly two years ago, we unified around a bold agenda to grow our economy, secure our borders, restore law and order, protect freedom and hold Big Government accountable.

We not only made those promises, we’ve kept them.

Throughout the 118th Congress, House Republicans worked tirelessly to tackle the countless crises created by the Harris-Biden administration’s reckless policies. From record-high inflation, increasing crime, the worst border crisis in history and your constitutional rights under attack, we have been laser-focused on addressing the real concerns you and your family face every day.

House Republicans passed key legislation to put an end to the Harris-Biden open border catastrophe, including H.R. 2, the Secure the Border Act, the strongest border security package to fix this crisis and enforce our laws once and for all.

We also fought to reverse the administration’s anti-American energy policies that have skyrocketed prices across the board by passing H.R. 1, the Lower Energy Costs Act.

When the Left targeted parents’ rights, we passed H.R. 5, the Parents Bill of Rights Act, to protect parents’ right to have a say in their child’s education. House Republicans passed several bills to support our allies, like Israel, and combat the threat of our adversaries, like China.

We also took action to keep our elections safe and secure by passing the SAVE Act, which would ensure only American citizens can vote in federal elections. These are just a few of the accomplishments we made on the House floor.

In committee hearings, House Republicans have pushed for strong oversight to hold the Harris-Biden administration accountable for its failures. We exposed the administration’s botched handling of the Afghanistan withdrawal and how they have deliberately weakened our nation’s border security to create the crisis we are witnessing at the border.

With so many of our college campuses, particularly the so-called “elite” schools, erupting into hotbeds of antisemitic hate, we held college administrators accountable for failing to protect Jewish students from being targeted. We also launched a task force to investigate the assassination attempt on President Donald Trump’s life, get the truth you deserve and ensure this horrific act of political violence never happens again.

Despite a slim majority and control of only one chamber of Congress, House Republicans have made significant progress in addressing the issues that are most important to you and your family. However, we have more work to do to save America and undo the damage caused by the Harris-Biden administration and the Far Left’s disastrous policies.

Make no mistake: House Republicans will never stop fighting for you, your family, and our great country.
