Committee Republicans’ message today was clear: We will always fight to put workers and their families first.
Meanwhile, Democrats continue to push policies that put union officials first and help line their pockets at the expense of American workers.

My Ask the Union Members Act gives American workers a stronger voice by requiring secret-ballot votes before unions approve contracts or authorize strikes.
At today’s @EdWorkforceCmte hearing, I asked Terry Bowman, Chairman of the Institute for the American Worker, how secret-ballots allow workers to vote their conscience without fear of retaliation.
More power for union officials. Less freedom for workers.
Subcommittee Chairman @RepBurgessOwens asks Mr. Bowman, Chairman of the Institute for the American Worker, how Democrats’ Protecting the Right to Organize (PRO) Act would undermine right-to-work laws, threaten workers’ privacy, and shift power toward union officials.
Workers deserve a say in the contracts that shape their lives.
At today's field hearing, @RepMarkHarrisNC warned that Democrats' labor proposals would put government arbitrators and union officials ahead of the workers they're supposed to represent.

“Until a couple of years ago, if you wanted to bet on sports, you were going to a bookie or traveling to Vegas. Now, essentially everyone has a casino in their pocket.”
I joined @NewsNation to discuss this morning’s Higher Education Subcommittee hearing on the rise of sports gambling on college campuses and the need for stronger education and safeguards for students.
When you start betting on the player, the player becomes the target.
@RepMarkHarrisNC asks Dr. Durkin how prop bets can lead to harassment, threats, and pressure on student-athletes to alter their performance.
Chairman @RepWalberg asks Dr. Durkin, Associate Professor at the University of Mississippi, what colleges can learn from schools already teaching students about the risks of gambling—and how universities can strengthen prevention efforts.
How can colleges catch gambling before it spirals?
@CongressmanGT asks Dr. Lindsey Mortenson, Chief Mental Health Officer at the University of Michigan, about the value of screening students for gambling-related problems.
Her message: keep screening brief and practical — and make sure students can get immediate support when they need it. ⬇️

Today, we honor the brave men and women who have served our country and defended our freedoms.
We are forever grateful for their service and sacrifice.
God bless our veterans! 🇺🇸
Schools have one job: educate students and prepare them for the future.
Promoting radical gender ideology and concealing it from parents has nothing to do with either.
