For the first time in almost a decade, the House returned to open debate about legislation. We voted on more than 140 amendments on the floor of Congress—the way the founding fathers intended.

I'm proud to have been part of the process and even more proud of what we were able to get passed.

After President Biden politicized our Strategic Petroleum Reserves (our emergency oil stockpile) House Republicans got to work. The Strategic Production Response Act will unleash American energy production to keep us prepared for natural disasters.

Today, I spoke on the House Floor in conjunction with H.Res.63, which recognizes and honors the lives of Sergeant Steven Robin and Officer Branden Estorffe. Sergeant Robin and Officer Estorffe, both with the Bay St. Louis Police Department, were shot and killed in the line of duty this past December.

I'm proud to say that H.Res.63 is cosponsored by the entire Mississippi House Delegation, including Congressman Bennie Thompson (MS-02), Congressman Trent Kelly (MS-01), and Congressman Michael Guest (MS-03). 

Senator Roger Wicker has also introduced a companion bill, S.Res.15, which is cosponsored by Senator Cindy-Hyde Smith.

May we never forget Sergeant Robin and Officer Estorffe's selfless commitment, their service, and ultimately their sacrifice in their mission to protect their community.

My team and I are almost through setting up district offices across both the Gulf Coast and the Pine Belt. We hope to announce grand openings and ribbon cuttings soon. In the meantime, if you need help, please give us a call at (202) 225-5772.

Please also connect with us on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram to get more frequent updates from my office.

It's a great honor to serve you and all the people of South Mississippi in Congress.

Sincerely,
