America Is Leading The Way

May 9, 2025

The United States of America is the greatest country in the world because we are never afraid to lead by example. This week, the House proved that point by coming together and passing 9 bipartisan bills that send a clear message: America will not turn a blind eye to authoritarian aggression, forced labor, or human rights abuses around the world.

From protecting the people of Taiwan to standing with persecuted groups in China and Iran, these votes reflect my firm belief that the United States must lead with strength, values, and resolve on the world stage.

Here's a look at the legislation I supported:
H.R. 1503 - Stop Forced Organ Harvesting Act: Cracks down on international human trafficking for the horrific practice of harvesting organs.

H.R. 1540 - Falun Gong Protection Act:Takes action to force the Chinese Communist party (CCP) to end state-sponsored organ harvesting and highlights their persecution of the Falun Gong movement.

H.R. 1512 - Taiwan Assurance Act Update: Requires the State Department to regularly review the department's guidelines on Taiwan to ensure we continue supporting one of our strongest allies in the Indo-Pacific.

H.R. 2416 - Taiwan International Solidarity Act: Reaffirms America's commitment to Taiwan's participation in international organizations.

H.R. 1486 - Economic Espionage Prevention Act: Enhances our ability to hold foreign adversaries, like China, accountable when they steal American innovation and technology.

H.R. 1724 - No Dollars to Uyghur Forced Labor Act: Ensures Americans' tax dollars aren't used to support supply chains tainted by Uyghur forced labor in China.

H.R. 1316 - Export Control Transparency Act: Improves oversight of U.S. export controls to prevent our most sensitive technology from falling into the hands of the Chinese military.

H.R. 36 - MEGOBARI Act: Reviewing of the U.S.-Georgia Relationship to combat corruption, violence, intimidation, and malign actor interference.

H.R. 1800 - Solidify Iran Sanctions Act: Ensures we keep pressure on the Iranian regime and enforce sanctions in response to their support of terrorism and human rights abuses.

These bills uphold the values that define our nation - freedom, democracy, and human dignity - and they strengthen our position against regimes that threaten global stability. I will always stand with our allies, stand up for the oppressed, and work to ensure America remains a force for good in the world.
