I appreciate that these federal funds will further provide our Northwest Indiana first responders with the technology and equipment they need to perform their services to the best of their abilities. I look forward to continuing to collaborate with all of the leaders and members of our region’s law enforcement departments to promote public safety and return our taxpayer dollars to Northwest Indiana through the House Appropriations Committee. https://t.co/0EJgmlSOGe
Thank you to Chairman Crawford for your leadership to highlight this critical issue for American manufacturing and good-paying jobs in light of the important trade discussions in China. We must continue to do all we can to promote the American steel and automotive industries and ensure that all American workers can compete on a level playing field.

Spoke on the House floor yesterday to stand in solidarity with the hardworking men and women of the United Steelworkers who have been locked out of their jobs for almost two months at the BP facility in Whiting. I continue to call on BP to lift the lockout and return to good-faith negotiations that put skilled union workers back on the job.
The proposed funding restrictions to the Housing Counseling Grant program will hinder the delivery of effective homeowner and rental counseling services in Northwest Indiana and across the country. As communities nationwide face skyrocketing housing and utilities costs, we must ensure that this critical program continues to be able to assist families, seniors, and individuals achieve stable and affordable housing.
