Architecture matters because the American people matter.
Americans still believe in distinction, continuity and democratic self-government.
The nationâs public buildings should reflect those ideals.

ASEM applauds @SenatorBanks' leadership and the bipartisan senators calling for stronger action against illegal âresearch use onlyâ drugs. We urge @FDA to hold the briefing and outline how it will crack down on illegal sellers putting patients at risk. bit.ly/3W213VZ

Huge win for America: Treasury just issued draft restrictions that crack down on American capital funding our primary enemy. The rules would cut off American investment in the Chinese SI sector and add strong new restrictions to ensure that America, not China, leads the way in advanced biotechnology.
Earlier this year, I urged the administration to take exactly this step. Now letâs make the rules permanent!

This is great news!
Proud to have worked with @POTUS and Gary Mayor @eddie_d_melton to help secure over $5.5 million in critical @FEMA disaster relief for Lake County so far.
I'm proud to have helped secure over $75 million in federal grants for Indiana rail infrastructure improvements including track and bridge rehabilitation, crossing upgrades, and equipment improvements.

Great work by Chairman @BrendanCarrFCC to protect Americans from surveillance by foreign adversaries like China.
The FCC recently determined that a manufacturer of two types of devicesâa dashboard camera and a wireless video transmitterâincluded chips within the devices that are produced by a subsidiary of Huawei.
Those types of chips are advertised as designed for the surveillance market.
FCC rules prohibit the import or sale of any device containing certain components produced by entities on the FCCâs Covered List, including Huawei and its subsidiaries.
The FCC has therefore blocked those device models from being used, marketed, or sold in the U.S., and the agency will continue to vigorously promote our countryâs national security.

Mayors donât get bogged down in national talking points, we deal with real challenges everyday. @SueFinkam has been tireless in her pursuit of exposing this critical issue facing every city across America. Public safety is priority #1 for any mayor, but we have major budget constraints, and this issue is a major contributor. Thanks to @Jim_Banks for his tireless effort in helping us tackle this issue.
On behalf of our residents, we continue to ask questions about the large increases in fire truck costs and lead times. I appreciate the support weâve received from Senators Jim Banks and Elizabeth Warren.
