Newsletter: Here's What We've Done

Statement

Hello,

Last November, the American people spoke loud and clear that they wanted Congress to take the lead to start solving our nation's problems.

They were sick of the inaction and they wanted Congress to get things done.

Well, I certainly listened and have been working with my colleagues to get results.

Here's a look at what we've accomplished in our first few months of Congress

14: That's how many years it has been since Congress passed a budget that balances without raising taxes on Americans.

This week, when the Senate passed our Conference Budget, we officially set a new milestone.

62: That's the number of bills we've passed out of the House.

That's more than double the 25 bills we passed in the first 100 days of 2013.

8: That's how many of these bills that have gone on to pass the Senate.

Not only that, all 8 of those bills have been signed into law.

1974: That's the last time Congress has started the Appropriations process this early.

2: That's the number of Appropriations bills we have already passed out of the House.

As a member of the Appropriations Committee, I am particularly proud that we've been able to put our head down and get these bills passed.

This progress has led to one of the most productive first 100 days under Republican control in modern history.

That's something I'm proud to be part of.

Mother's Day

I want to wish a Happy Mother's Day to all of the hardworking mothers who sacrifice to make life better for their children everyday.

I hope you have a great day, you deserve it.

I work hard every day to serve and represent you to the best of my ability and will continue working for solutions in Congress.

Dave
