First Anniversary of the Deadly October 7th Attack on Israel
Like so many, we were sickened by the devastating attack on Israel by the Iran-backed Hamas terrorists one year ago.
Touring the damage firsthand in Israel in April, it was nothing short of heartbreaking. Innocent humans were butchered, families were shattered, and a nation was left in mourning. The horrors we saw there were almost indescribable. This was more than just an attack on Israel. It was an attack on peace, stability, and the shared values that bind us as democracies.
One year later, America continues to stand with Israel, and Israel must eradicate Hamas entirely.
Watch this video about what we saw in Israel.

Leading the House Republican Conference in Urging House Leadership to Prioritize Passing the Farm Bill This Year
Before leaving Washington, we were honored to lead 139 of our House colleagues in a letter showing House leadership that Republicans are committed to passing a Farm Bill that supports our nation’s constituents, farmers, and rural communities.
We joined Agri-Pulse's Open Mic Podcast to talk more on the Farm Bill, the admin's failed EV mandates, conflicts abroad, and so much more. Listen here.

It has been one year since the barbaric attack on Israel by the Iran-backed terrorist group Hamas. On October 7th, 2023, over 1,200 innocent lives were lost, and families were torn apart by unspeakable brutality. The world stood witness to the horror inflicted upon men, women, and children. Israel is our close ally, and we must never forget this day. We must continue to stand shoulder-to-shoulder with Israel.
One year later, Israel is still fighting to defend its people, its values, and its future. The United States must remain a steadfast ally in this battle. We honor the memories of the lives lost and the resilience of a nation standing strong against those who seek its destruction.
In April, we saw firsthand the aftermath of this unspeakable tragedy—villages reduced to rubble, families shattered by the loss of loved ones, and entire communities living in fear. The devastation was heartbreaking, but the resolve of the Israeli people is strong. They remain unwavering in their fight against pure evil, and it is our duty to ensure that they have the support they need to defend their sovereignty and protect their citizens.
This fight goes beyond Israel. This is a fight between good and evil, and as Americans, we must be on the side of good. It is not just a political stance—it is a moral imperative. The United States must continue to stand resolutely with Israel, providing the resources and support necessary to eliminate Hamas and ensure such a tragedy never happens again.
On this somber anniversary, we remember the hostages still held by Hamas, including four Americans. The pain of their families, who continue to live in uncertainty, is unimaginable. We pray for their safe return, and we commit to doing everything within our power to help bring them home.
Let us always remember that in the end, good will triumph over evil.
