Friend,

I want to wish you a blessed Good Friday and a happy Easter. This Easter season, I am counting the many blessings in my life. I am so grateful for the health of my family, to live in the best state and country in the world, and for the opportunity to serve Iowans in Congress. During this season, I'm praying for peace in our world, wisdom for our elected leaders, and extra strength for all those who may need it.

I am also thinking of all those who are not able to spend Easter with their families and friends. We are so grateful to all of the first responders, law enforcement officers, and members of the military who sacrifice these important days to keep us all the safe.

"But the angel said to the women, “Do not be afraid, for I know that you are looking for Jesus, who was crucified. He is not here; He has risen, just as He said! Come, see the place where He lay."
Matthew 28:6

May this season be filled with blessings for you and your family--wishing you a joyous Easter!

Congressional Art Competition: The deadline for high school students to submit artwork for the 2022 Congressional Art Competition is April 29th. We can't wait to review the submissions and highlight a young artist from Iowa!
Summer Sale of E-15: Finally allowing the sale of E-15 in the summer is good, but long overdue, news. The President should permanently make E-15 available year-round, and Iowa biofuels should be front and center in an all-of-the-above energy strategy that will bring costs down, bolster our fuel supply, and restore American energy independence long-term.
Inflation Continues to Drive Prices Up for Iowans: Inflation jumped to 8.5% in March--prices are continuing to rise at an alarming pace. Family budgets are tight and hardworking Iowans are stressed about making ends meet. President Biden and Speaker Pelosi need to stop overspending, not shift blame for skyrocketing prices. I'll continue to propose commonsense solutions to bring more people into the workforce, fix supply chain issues, and combat inflation to bring prices back down.
Tax Filing Deadline Approaching: The deadline to file your 2021 taxes is this Monday, April 18, 2022. Check out our tips for a smooth tax filing season here and please reach out to our office with any questions.
Discussing Border Security with Jeff Angelo: The Administration’s failure to secure our border has made every single American family less safe and the border crisis will only get worse when Title 42 is lifted. I joined Jeff Angelo to explain what could happen if the Administration moves forward with their plan to reverse Title 42.
Lowering Fertilizer Costs: I continue to hear from farmers about the rising cost of fertilizer. I joined my colleagues in urging President Biden to take action to lower costs for farmers.
