I am heartbroken to hear this, as this was a completely preventable tragedy. This illegal alien should’ve never even been in the United States.

My thoughts and prayers are with the loved ones of these four young innocent Oklahomans. May they rest in peace.

All four people in the struck vehicle, which caught fire, were killed.

Happy Memorial Day. Please join me in thanking, honoring, and remembering the lives of our selfless military personnel who have passed away while serving the United States. They lived and died for us – and we must never forget that. Freedom isn’t free. 🇺🇸

Yesterday, I, along with Subcommittee Chair Womack, led a budget hearing, where we collected testimony from Department of Transportation Secretary, Sean Duffy. During the hearing, I utilized some of my time with the Secretary to advocate for the Mike Monroney Aeronautical Center in Oklahoma City.

We have the land, the facilities, and a world-class staff in Oklahoma City to ensure that air traffic controllers receive in-person, focused, state-of-the-art training. Therefore, I will always fight for the funding the center needs to modernize and expand, while at the same time push back on any effort to decentralize or weaken what we have built there.

I'd like to thank Secretary Duffy for the attention he has given to the Mike Monroney Aeronautical Center, as he truly understands what this facility means to the safety of our nation's entire aviation system.

It was an honor to receive the very first United for Cures Impact Award last night. As a Congressman, I will always fight for life-saving biomedical research which in turn delivers more treatments, cures, and lives saved.
