Issue Position: Government Reform

Issue Position

I strongly believe that one of Congress' most important responsibilities is to conduct vigorous oversight to ensure that laws are being faithfully carried out, that taxpayer's dollars are well spent, and that allegations of abuse are being thoroughly investigated.

I believe Congress must be transparent about its business and I work to provide up to date information on my own activities, office expenditures, and appropriations requests. I keep an online schedule which is updated every day to reflect the day's activities and outline the activities that are confirmed for the days ahead. This week's schedule, as well as an archive of old schedules, is available here.

Below is my financial disclosure report, a document which details the source, type, amount, and value of my income. This information is filed with the Clerk of the House by all Members of Congress.
