It has been a busy and productive time in Congress, and I wanted to take a moment to share what I’ve been working on in Washington, D.C. to deliver real results for Wisconsin’s Third District.

Slashing Wasteful Government Spending
Passage of H.R. 4 - the Rescissions Act of 2025 is a prime example of what it means to cut waste, fraud, and abuse in the federal government’s spending. For too long, Americans’ hard earned tax dollars were being used to fund radical, social programs in other countries.

The people of Wisconsin’s Third District work too hard to have their money thrown away, and I’m proud that we passed this package so the federal government can be better stewards of taxpayers’ dollars.

Honoring our Troops at Southern Border
President Biden manufactured the worst border crisis in our nation’s history, but since President Trump took office, our brave servicemembers have been doing incredible work at the southern border to protect our country from violent gang members and the flow of illicit, deadly drugs like fentanyl. They deserve to be honored for everything they are doing to keep Americans safe, which is why I joined a bipartisan group of my colleagues in introducing the Border Operations Service Medal Act. This bill will create and issue a Border Operations Service Medal to recognize military and National Guard personnel who served in designated border operations beginning January 1, 2025.

VA Home Loan Program Reform Act Passes the House
I am proud to have my VA Home Loan Program Reform Act passed out of the House, which establishes a permanent partial claims program within the VA Home Loan Program, bringing VA in line with other federal agencies in offering a fair and fiscally responsible path forward.

This type of program has worked in the past, keeps vets and their families in their homes, and does so at a fraction of the cost of the VASP program. The VA Home Loan Program Reform Act is not just a fix – it is necessary course correction.

Streamlining CNA Training Requirements
In rural Wisconsin, folks depend on critical workers like Certified Nursing Assistants (CNAs) to receive timely and quality care. However, when facilities are short-staffed, entire communities feel the impact. That is why I introduced the CNA Workforce Improvement Act, which removes the bureaucratic red tape and gets more boots on the ground to ensure patients are receiving the care they need.

Specifically, the CNA Workforce Improvement Act will allow Registered Nurses (RNs) with a minimum of two years of nursing experience to supervise CNA training, regardless of whether their experience comes from working in a long-term care facility or another healthcare facility. By eliminating the long-term care requirement, more nurses will be available to supervise the training of CNAs, ultimately accelerating workforce recruitment and helping alleviate the CNA shortage.

I'm proud of the work we've accomplished so far, and I look forward to continuing to deliver the results you deserve.
