Congressman Good Update: Shining the Light on Biden’s Bad Policies

Why I Did Not Vote Out Speaker Johnson  While I am deeply disappointed in Speaker Johnson's leadership, or lack thereof, I voted to "table", or not move forward with the "motion to vacate" filed by Marjorie Greene (R-GA) earlier this week. With a historically narrow one-vote margin in the House, the removal of the Speaker at this time would create far more risk and uncertainty and could result in a coalition-style Speaker chosen by moderate RINOs and Democrats. At a time when we are 6 months from an election, we need to focus on re-electing President Trump, retaking the Senate, and growing our House majority. We should have a new Speaker contest in November after the election, and select the strongest and most conservative Speaker possible.

Defending Our Second Amendment Rights In my latest effort to protect our 2nd Amendment rights, I introduced the Silencers Helping Us Save Hearing Act (SHUSH Act), which would deregulate suppressors at the federal level and preempt state law that regulates, taxes, or prohibits the possession of suppressors. I oppose any restriction, regulation, tax, or infringement on the right for law-abiding citizens to keep and bear arms.     No constitutional right should be at risk due to public opinion, or subject to regulatory or tax burdens. These rights certainly extend to the procurement of safety accessories for firearms. My legislation would eliminate the overly complicated and antiquated process for acquiring suppressors and ensure that those purchases are no longer subject to federal regulation.    You can read more about the SHUSH Act at the Washington Examiner.

Biden Official Defends Student Loan Transfer Scheme  In an Education and Workforce Committee hearing, I questioned Education Secretary Cardona about the Biden Administration's relentless push to make taxpayers pay for the student loans of others. I questioned whether Democrats believe that student loan debt is legitimate, and whether it is the responsibility of the actual borrower to pay it back. I also questioned whether we should continue to make student loans if we are not going to require borrowers to repay them.

Fundamental Questions for Immigration and the Border  In a Budget Committee hearing, I questioned the expert witnesses regarding how many of the 7 billion non-U.S world population would come to America if they could. I also stated that the fundamental questions regarding our border and immigration policy are 1) does everyone around the world have the RIGHT to come to America, whether legally or illegally, or 2) does America have the RIGHT to decide who gets to come into the U.S.?  Democrats believe that everyone has a right to come to America, and if we don't let them come easily or quickly enough on a legal basis, they should be able to come illegally and have U.S. taxpayers provide them with free travel, free housing, free healthcare, free social services, and free education.
