Dear [firstname] [lastname],

This week, President Trump delivered a powerful message to Congress and the world: America is back. With strength and vision, he is leading our nation into a New Golden Age. In just over forty days, President Trump has achieved more for the American people than the last administration did in four years. • He has secured over $1.7 trillion in new investments to fuel economic growth. • He is saving taxpayers billions by rooting out waste, fraud, and abuse in the federal government. • He has reasserted America’s leadership on the world stage. • He is restoring energy independence, ensuring affordable and reliable power for all Americans. • He has taken decisive action to end the border crisis, leading to record-low illegal crossings and even driving reverse migration. The results speak for themselves. The American people see it too—77 million Americans are proud of our country, and 76% approve of President Trump’s Joint Address speech. Yet, Progressive Democrats refuse to acknowledge the truth. They are boycotting the America First agenda, disrupting town halls, and showing their disdain for everyday Americans. They couldn’t even bring themselves to celebrate a child battling cancer during the Joint Address. But respect, order, and duty will always prevail over chaos and grandstanding. Here’s the reality: President Trump is leading the charge and Republicans in Congress are advancing the ball down the field, while Progressive Democrats are throwing tantrums on the sidelines. After four years of decline, America is back—and we’re just getting started. |

Real Estate Caucus Kickoff

A young lady expressed to us that she doesn't think she'll be able to achieve the American dream: owning a home.
We believe that an increased supply, less regulation, and lower interest rates will create a formula for success. We will proudly work with President Trump to ensure every American has the tools they need to own a home!
