HOT BUTTON ISSUES
HEALTHCARE I believe the individual health insurance mandate contained in the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act represents a significant overreach by the federal government. It is also fiscally irresponsible. The new taxes and burdensome regulations in this law are driving the cost of healthcare even higher for working families, and straining our healthcare providers and small businesses.
I support reforming healthcare with market-based solutions to empower patients and doctors, and malpractice reforms to protect consumers and provide incentives for best medical practices.
ENERGY Supports construction of the Keystone Pipeline without limiting amendments. Reducing our Middle East energy dependence is a major step toward increasing our national security. With this in mind, making the United States energy secure from other nations is one of my highest priorities as your Congressman. North Dakota is blessed with the resources to lead the charge toward energy security, and I am proud of the hard work done by our oil producers in North Dakota each day to make this goal possible. I remain firmly committed to advancing this goal on a national level as a member of two important energy subcommittees, and the Subcommittee on Public Lands and Environmental Regulations. I am also pleased to be chosen by the House Majority Leader to serve on the newly formed House Energy Action Team (HEAT).
DEFENSE AND NATIONAL SECURITY House Legislation Ends Mass Collection of Americans’ Phone Records May 22, 2014 – Press Release – Washington, D.C. – The House of Representatives today passed legislation to end the bulk collection of Americans’ phone records and impose other limitations on government intelligence gathering. The USA FREEDOM Act received bipartisan support in the House, and a statement yesterday from the White House indicated President Obama intends to sign the legislation after it is passed by both chambers of Congress.
Defense Authorization Bill Passes House, Includes Missile Protections – May 22, 2014 – Press Release Washington, D.C. – The House of Representatives today passed the annual authorization bill for U.S. military activities. Congressman Kevin Cramer said the Fiscal Year 2015 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) spends $30 billion less than the 2014 enacted NDAA while rejecting reduced military pay increase, TRICARE cuts, housing allowance cuts, and commissary cuts proposed by the President.
