  • Rated 89% by NumbersUSA (justfacts.votesmart.org)
  • "We need immigration reform that provides no amnesty for those who have entered our country illegally.

  • "Let’s dispel another myth: Our European allies are standing shoulder to shoulder with us and the people of Ukraine.

They have given nearly $50 billion in military aid since Russia’s unjustified invasion, while the U.S. has given roughly $42 billion. The threat is on their doorstep, and they are taking it seriously. When we talk about support for Ukraine, it’s not just about dollars and cents; it’s about our shared values. If Putin continues unchecked, he will not stop at Ukraine. Authoritarianism cannot win." (turner.house.gov)
