February 2025

I joined my Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations colleagues in addition to, House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan (R-Ohio), and Representative Barry Loudermilk (R-Ga.) to send letters to AT&T Inc., T-Mobile USA, Inc., Verizon Communications Inc., and the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) seeking answers about the FBI’s use of cellular data in the investigation into the pipe bombs that were discovered on Jan. 6, 2021 in Washington, D.C.

We have a primary election coming up on Tuesday, February 18 that features who will be the next person responsible for educating our children in public schools. Choose wisely.

Our public schools are failing our kids. A recent report shows that only 31% of students are able to read at grade level. Milwaukee Public Schools rank last in the entire nation for 4th Reading. Reading proficiency has steadily declined. Instead of fixing the problem, the current Superintendent for Public Instruction is lowering standards hoping that no one will notice.

Last week, in the Republican response to Governor Evers' State of the State Speech, I outlined Republican priorities, including ensuring our kids are properly taught to read in school. You may remember I mentioned that the Department of Public Instruction was lowering standards to make it look like kids were doing better than they were, and that our plan would be to tie state scores to the National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) exam to maintain a steady baseline that made it possible to assess year-over-year progress or decline in our reading scores without using funny math.
