Oversight and Government Reform
Strong government oversight strengthens our political process and improves the function of our government. It is important that the citizens of our nation always hold our government responsible for its actions, whether they are positive or negative. My duty as your Congressman is to represent you, my constituents, and your concerns. I understand that Congress's current situation can be frustrating. While partisan politics can be detrimental in some cases, strong differences of opinion have made our nation great, cultivating and nurturing different viewpoints. It is only through a respectful exchange of these ideas that we can truly engender a thriving and strong democracy.
An ethical and accountable government is imperative to keeping our country great. Transparency and strong whistleblower protection are both important in a well-functioning government.
