Issues
America’s diverse agricultural economy is the backbone of our continued prosperity. It helps feed hundreds of millions of Americans every day while also stocking shelves around the world. Eastern North Carolina, rightly so, is proud of its rich farming tradition, especially hogs, turkeys, sweet potatoes, cotton, and tobacco. As a member of the House Ways and Means Committee, which has jurisdiction over tax and trade policy, I helped preserve the expanded Death Tax exemption in the Working Families Tax Cut and make permanent good tax policy that helps our farmers.
The United States requires strong immigration laws to keep birders secure and our communities safe. Our nation is blessed to be the home of many cultures, but we are united by our identity as Americans. Foreigners who wish to visit or immigrate to our country must do so lawfully and respect our laws and customs. Our commitment to democratic principles and the rights enshrined in the Constitution must be closely followed and guarded.
As a practicing surgeon of more than 30 years, it’s a true honor to have the opportunity to serve as co-chair of the GOP Doctors Caucus. It’s critical that physicians have a seat at the table as we work to enact meaningful patient-focused health care policy in America. I look forward to co-leading our GOP Doctors Caucus colleagues to improve our health care system, lower costs, and increase patient access to quality, affordable care. |
