Congress
A lack of transparency and accountability has unfortunately become the new normal in Congress. My number one priority is to best serve the folks I represent and use their ideas and insights to guide my decisions, but Washington’s self-serving attitude has put significant barriers in the way of getting our work done.
We must ensure that our government operates solely on what is good for the people, not for personal gains. This is why I introduced legislation to impose term limits on Members of both the House and the Senate. These term limits will prevent Members from building years of personal benefit and instead return Washington’s focus to the American public.
