The Simpson Standard

September 29th, 2024
 

Dear [salutation],


It was a busy week back here in DC! From holding Biden-Harris administration officials responsible for their decision-making and execution failures throughout the withdrawal from Afghanistan to ensuring the government continues to serve the American people, a lot was happening in Congress. Be sure to listen to my latest What's Happening in Washington below to get the full scoop!

Holding the Biden-Harris Admin Accountable 
 

In the three years since the horrific August 26th Abbey Gate terrorist attack, President Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris have refused to:

❌Publicly say the names of the 13 service members who made the ultimate sacrifice

❌Meet with the Gold Star families

❌Take accountability for their catastrophic withdrawal from Afghanistan


This week, I joined my colleagues to hold the Biden-Harris administration accountable for their failed leadership during and after the catastrophic withdrawal from Afghanistan.


Listen to my latest What's Happening in Washington here.
 

Boosting Domestic Chip Manufacturing
 

While the Chinese Communist Party has invested billions to dominate the global semiconductor market, federal bureaucracy here at home has delayed domestic chip production and weakened our standing on the world stage. Semiconductors are the backbone of America's national security, economic growth, and global competitiveness.


With Idaho leading the charge in this industry, I was proud to support this legislation that strengthens our position and counters China's chokehold over critical resources.


 

Great Chatting with Idaho SkillsUSA!
 

I was pleased to meet Idaho SkillsUSA students and hear more about their career and technical experiences earlier this week.


Also got to see Daryl the duck!
