Among several issues that Americans report as their highest priorities, a strong economy usually tops the list. That makes complete sense. After all, a strong economy means bigger paychecks, more jobs, and greater opportunities for families, farmers, workers, and businesses in Iowa and nationwide to thrive. Like my fellow Iowans and Americans, a strong economy where businesses can grow, farms can invest, and families can keep more of their hard-earned money is also a top priority for me.
On July 4th, President Trump signed one of the most consequential pieces of legislation in American history into law. Among a wide range of benefits, H.R. 1—commonly known as the “One, Big, Beautiful Bill”—shielded Americans from the largest tax hike in history, expanded on the successful tax cuts of the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (TCJA), funded security at our southern border, and enhanced our national security.
Global trade is a crucial component of the American economy, ensuring that our businesses, manufacturers, and farmers can sell their high-quality goods across the world and make continued investments in our country. However, for decades, foreign nations have taken advantage of the American marketplace by illegally dumping products at our ports, a common practice by China, and imposing baseless and unscientific restrictions on U.S. exports.

On Thursday July 3rd, I voted to pass President Trump’s “One, Big, Beautiful Bill” and send it to his desk for his signature – making this historic legislation the law of the land. This pro-family, pro-worker, pro-growth economic package is the culmination of President Trump’s campaign promises and conservative economic principles, which will dramatically grow our economy, cut deficits, and create jobs.

Traveling across Iowa on my 36 County Tour, I hear from so many small business owners and workers who want a government that works for them, not against them. For the last four years, the Biden administration was playing ball with foreign nations, outsourcing American manufacturing, and stifling domestic industry with red tape and burdensome regulations. From the factories in Rock Valley to the main street businesses of Marshalltown, our communities flourish when we support policies that empower small business owners, cut red tape, and fuel economic growth.
On Wednesday June 11th, U.S. Secretary of the Treasury Scott Bessent and U.S. Secretary of Agriculture Brooke Rollins traveled to Capitol Hill to testify before the House Ways and Means Committee and the House Agriculture Committee, respectively. As the only member of Congress serving on these two pivotal committees, I had the opportunity to speak directly with these incredibly talented cabinet secretaries who are delivering on President Trump’s economic and agricultural agenda.
In the 1800s, American settlements began appearing across Iowa’s sprawling prairies. Families, young and old, ventured out West, braving terrifying prairie fires, tornadoes, and uncertainty, in search of a better life. Early communities were often built around families coexisting and growing together. In 2025, not much has changed. Iowa’s landscape is dotted with small towns occupied by family names dating back generations. This is one of the things that I love most about Iowa.
