The House passed the Midnight Rules Relief Act to protect Americans from last minute regulations that lack transparency and have not gone through rigorous analysis and public comment. Unelected and unaccountable federal bureaucrats should not be able to establish rules against the will of the people as displayed by the most recent election.
Last week, a federal court ruled the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau’s (CFPB) structure was unconstitutional. Over a year ago, I introduced legislation, H.R. 1266, to make that structure a bipartisan commission to bring accountability and political neutrality to the Bureau. Read about why the court’s ruling just reemphasizes my stance in The Hill http://thehill.com/…/301340-court-ruling-highlights-need-fo…
Today marks one year since the tragic C-130J crash that claimed the lives of six Airmen and five civilians. We continue to mourn their loss. Last year, I led a moment of silence for them on the Floor of the House of Representatives https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fiRd0Mdn_e0&feature=youtu.be
The Hyde Amendment (first enacted 40 years ago today) prevents federal tax dollars from funding abortion. We must protect our unborn.
My last time questioning a Federal Reserve Chair. See my opening statement https://randy.house.gov/…/neugebauer-opening-statement-fina…
It is always an honor and a privilege to welcome the South Plains Honor Flight to the United States Capitol. Today I was blessed to visit with these extraordinary veterans of World War II, the Korean War, and the Vietnam War.
I can't think of a better home for the new B-21 Bomber "Raider" than the midst of Red Raider country. Hopeful that Dyess Air Force Base and Abilene are chosen to host this next generation of bombers.
Thankful for this document every day, which established the greatest form of government in the world. #ConstitutionDay2016
Today, we are analyzing, discussing, and considering changes to the Financial CHOICE Act in the Financial Services Committee markup hearing. This is a comprehensive piece of legislation to address the problems created by the Dodd-Frank Act in the wake of the financial crisis. I am proud that two of my bills – H.R. 1266 and H.R. 5465 – are included in this legislation. For more information on my bills and how the Financial CHOICE Act will help you, see http://www.texasinsider.org/neugebauer-a-better-way-to-imp…/
Proud to stand united with my House colleagues this morning to honor those lost on 9/11. We will never forget.
The House just passed H.R. 5063 – Stop Settlement Slush Funds Act, hopefully closing a loophole that has allowed this administration to bypass the Congressional appropriations process and funnel money to interest groups of its choosing. I am pleased that if this bill is signed into law, money not given directly to victims would go to Treasury as part of the normal budget and spending process.
I had the chance to call and congratulate Jenna Hay today on her incredible win – World Champion Duathlete has a nice ring to it! I hope she enjoys some of the well-deserved chocolate she told me she bought while in Switzerland. So proud to support this world class athlete from the 19th District of Texas!
Jenna Hay, the National Duathlon Champion for the 20-24 year old age group, will represent Team USA at the World Championships today in Zofingen, Switzerland. Jenna graduated from Texas Tech University, and she interned in my Washington, D.C. office over the summer. We wish her the best of luck! For more about Jenna’s journey, see this story from the Dallas Morning News: http://sportsday.dallasnews.com/…/jenna-hay-expects-finish-…
