Americans can all agree there is a housing crisis.
A crisis of affordability and availability.
Today I was proud to vote for the ROAD to Housing Act to help address both of these issues for the American people.

- ...but the American people are requesting ANSWERS. And transparency. Now.The Pentagon has requested an additional $80 billion to continue fighting Trump's Iran War. $80 billion could cover: —A year of healthcare for 8.6 million Americans —Two years of free lunches for every public school student —A $25,000 raise for every public school teacher
- ... and it wasn't even close! Folks in the St. Louis region already knew. Congrats to my friends at Old Town Donuts for sweeping the competition- yet again. #titletown 🍩🏆
- I’m fighting to defund ICE because no one should live in fear.

- Looking back on the last meeting of my inaugural Youth Council and wanted to take a moment to brag on these students. They are brilliant, hard-working young leaders, and I’m thankful to have gotten to know them through this program. Stay tuned for information about applications
- Happy Juneteenth! Today we celebrate all that our ancestors have fought, bled, and died for, and we are reminded that there is still so much work to be done.
00:00 - It was long overdue that the words of this song finally be spoken on the House Floor of Congress. And to be clear, we are not encouraged to lift ‘some’ voices, or just ‘certain’ voices - but rather, it says boldly to: “Lift EVERY voice and sing.” Lift Every Voice and Sing is a

- Billions for Iran, over $300 million for a new ballroom, $1.8 billion for a slush fund, but for communities hit with natural disasters like the St. Louis region, not a peep from this Administration. Trump and Congressional Republicans continue to fail communities like ours.Congress inches to the September budget deadline.. no sign appropriating long-term disaster recovery is part of the equation. No HUD grants for disaster recovery have been appropriated since 2024. @RepWesleyBellMO @HawleyMO @SenEricSchmitt weigh in. spectrumlocalnews.com/mo/st-louis/ne…
- Trump’s ballroom is reported to cost $600 million, and taxpayers are funding HALF of that?! Imagine what good $300 million of your dollars could do if put toward something that ACTUALLY helps this country and its working families.

- I was proud to cosponsor the Sinkhole Mapping Act of 2025 last year to push for the U.S. Geological Survey to study the mechanisms causing sinkholes and develop maps depicting sinkhole risk zones. With this initiative, communities can stay on top of sinkhole infrastructure andI’ve been clear all along: infrastructure is critical to the safety and well-being of our community. I will continue to work with local officials and stakeholders to push for increased infrastructure upgrades. ksdk.com/article/traffi…
