As we near the middle of April, I wanted to send you a few updates on what work we have accomplished in Washington, D.C. and around Alabama’s 6th district over the past month:

Dear Friends,
Dear Friends,
It's been a year since Joe Biden was inaugurated President of the United States. A year after he took office, we can look around and see overwhelming evidence of how life has gotten harder for people across the country, not easier. We also have alarming examples of how he has weakened America's position on the world stage and emboldened our enemies. To put it bluntly, our country has been in crisis since President Biden took office and his policies are making things worse, not better.
Dear Friends,
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you and your family! As the year concludes, I write to express my appreciation for you and for your continued partnership, while I do my best to represent you in Washington. I hope these Christmas holidays provide much-needed rest and time with family and friends. Although this year has continued to prove difficult for many, I hope the struggles have inspired new determination in us to fight for our country.
Dear Friends,
Dear Friends,
For over two centuries, America has stood as the land of opportunity and freedom around the world. It has been a place where anyone, regardless of background or circumstance, can rise above challenges and become successful and independent with hard work and perseverance. This freedom to live self-sufficiently and work as one chooses has yielded prosperity and flourishing throughout the United States for generations.
Dear Friends,
"We do not have a government by the majority. We have a government by the majority who participate." -Thomas Jefferson
Dear Friends,
"I appeal to you again to constantly bear in mind that with you, and not with politicians, not with Presidents, not with office-seekers, but with you, is the question, ‘Shall the Union and shall the liberties of this country be preserved to the latest generation?'" – Abraham Lincoln
"Success is not final, failure is not fatal: it is the courage to continue that counts."
If you're like me, your Independence Day was a little muted because of social distancing and the fact that many of our city and community Independence Day events were cancelled. John Adams, one of the our most prominent founders and our second president, actually envisioned Americans celebrating our nation's birthday with food and festivities and with the big fireworks shows. Writing to his wife Abigail, John Adams said, "I am apt to believe that it will be celebrated, by succeeding Generations, as the great anniversary Festival.
I hope you and your family are well amidst these uncertain, difficult times for our nation. We continue to face the COVID-19 crisis, but horrific deaths and riots have also shaken many over the last few weeks. I mourn with all of those who are hurting over the unjust deaths of George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, and Ahmaud Arbery, as well as with those who have had their lives or livelihoods endangered amidst the violent riots. I pray that justice will be swiftly served and also that law and order will be restored.
I hope you and your family are well as we continue to navigate the COVID-19 crisis. The conversations have shifted to reopening our country and I am committed to making that happen for Alabama in the safest and most efficient way possible. I want to provide the latest updates on the reopening process, as well as share how I've been involved at both the state and national level. But first, here are some things you need to know.
I hope you and your families are staying healthy and are following the CDC guidelines during this very strange time for our country and world. It's hard to believe how fast people's lives have changed in such short time due to the COVID-19 outbreak. I wanted to provide a brief update on the situation and what my staff and I and the federal government are doing to fight the virus.
