| Dear Friends,
|
Please find information about the work I am doing for you, both in Washington and in the district.
On Tuesday, I was awarded the Spirit of Enterprise award from the U.S. Chamber of Commerce due to my record of voting to support pro-business and pro-growth policies in the first session of the 114th Congress. I have been fortunate to receive this award from the Chamber 10 times since I entered Congress.
I also asked Secret Service Director Joseph Clancy about the efforts the Service is undertaking to combat transnational crime during a House Appropriations Homeland Security Subcommittee hearing recently.
You'll also find below an update from my offices in the district and some useful information from FEMA about how to deal with severe weather caused by El Niño.
As always, thank you for your time and please reach out to any of my offices if you need help with a federal issue.

Receiving the Spirit of Enterprise Award from the U.S. Chamber of Commerce
On March 15, Tom Donohue, president and CEO of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, presented me with the Spirit of Enterprise Award for my voting record that helps business prosper and the economy grow. This is the tenth time I have received the award from the U.S. Chamber of Commerce since I entered Congress. |
Speaking to Secret Service Director Joseph Clancy About Organized Crime
On March 15, I attended a Homeland Security Appropriations Committee hearing with Secret Service Director Joseph Clancy, where I asked him about several topics including counterfeiting in Peru, a proposed $15 million White House replica for service training, and what efforts the Secret Service was undertaking both domestically and with the Mexican government to combat transnational organized crime. I also asked about ways to expedite the hiring process and include more diversity in the service. |
