Great to visit with Dr. Nicole Saphier this week on Capitol Hill.

Dr. Saphier has the experience, is a champion for medical freedom, and will put the American people first.

I'm proud to support her nomination as the next U.S. Surgeon General.

Early this morning the Senate passed funding for ICE and CBP for the rest of President Trump's term to keep our borders secure and ensure the Trump administration can continue mass deportations. This comes after Democrats shut down all of DHS for a record breaking 76 days earlier this year.

Democrats side with illegal immigrants over American citizens every chance they get. They would rather flood America with dangerous criminals than keep us safe. But the American people gave Senate Republicans a mandate to put an end to their madness and last night that’s what we did.

During the vote, there were two amendments to include key provisions of the SAVE America Act: mandating voter ID and requiring citizenship to register to vote. I voted TWICE for the SAVE America Act, but it failed after every Democrat and a handful of squishy republicans voted against it. This is shameful. Over 80% of the American people want us to pass these common sense measures to secure our elections. We must get it done!

The American people gave us a Senate Majority to stand with President Donald J. Trump, secure the border, & deport illegal aliens.

Tonight, we will do just that.

Tonight, we are voting to fully-fund ICE & CBP for years to come.

The safety & security of the American people is NON-NEGOTIABLE.

Marc Tuttle was one of the strongest fighters for the unborn and brought so many young people into the prolife movement. I’m grateful I had the chance to March for Life with him earlier this year in Indianapolis. Amanda and I are praying for his family and loved ones.

Celebrate the life of Marc Tuttle, leave a kind word or memory and get funeral service information care of Leppert Mortuaries – Nora.

You have to be 16 to drive.
You have to be 18 to vote.
You have to be 21 to drink.
You have to be 25 to rent a car.

Why are teachers talking to our kids about sexuality at 12?

Why are kids encouraged to mutilate their bodies at 13?

This gender ideology madness needs to end.

Great to visit with students from Heritage Christian School in Indianapolis at the Capitol today 🇺🇸

Only US citizens should be voting in US elections.

The SAVE America Act makes this possible by requiring voter ID.

Whether it's on its own or through a 3rd reconciliation bill, this bill must pass.

Senate Republicans need to take a stand & secure our elections once & for all.
