This past week, our president made the decision to place politics ahead of common-sense policy when he vetoed the Keystone Pipeline. This veto stalls an opportunity that would boost jobs and advance our nation’s economic growth- and despite rigorous environmental analyses and a series of extensive reviews, he made the baffling choice to veto. I remain disappointed by his decision, but please be assured that this fight is far from over.
The House of Representatives focused this week on enacting conservative educational reforms. As a mother, I know how important it is that we focus our attention and efforts on strengthening our educational system. This past week, the House passed H.R. 529, which helps hardworking families save for their children’s college education fund—be it technical, community, or a 4-year university. We want to reward those who play by the rules and ensure that every student in every school receives an excellent education.
I hope you and your families stay safe and warm during this winter weather.
